The Microbiome Effect. How the Method of Childbirth Affects Future Health

Every day, more scientific facts emerge, confirming that the species composition of our microbiome - the invisible microbial ecosystem that resides in each of our bodies - plays a key role in human health.

«The Microbiome Effect» is the first book... focused on the emerging scientific data on how the method of a person's arrival into the world influences the formation of the microbiome. Toni Harman and Alex Wakeford raise important questions about the potential long-term consequences of such now-common interventions in childbirth as cesarean section or the use of synthetic oxytocin, and share new information with readers about how artificial feeding impacts the species diversity of infants' microbiomes.
The book contains information from experts from various countries, including midwives, global health policy developers, pediatric professionals, immunotoxicologists, and geneticists.
The book is intended for parents, midwives, and other healthcare professionals.
