Hi, everyone. I just finished an incredible book called "Missing Microbes" by Martin Blaser, who's an experienced researcher in microbiology and infectious diseases at NYU and who used to work for the CDC. The book is generally about the overuse of antibiotics and what this and other factors are doing to impact our gut flora. He talks a lot about the numerous "modern plagues" that are increasing exponentially in number and the research that he and others have done that has shown a link between our disappearing microbes and these diseases/conditions. It's a fascinating read that's very much grounded in science, so I highly recommend it.
