Dr. Mercola talks about why you need them here, and yet many of us struggle to get enough through our diet alone.

"Your body contains about 100 trillion bacteria -- more than 10 times the number of cells you have in your entire body. It's now quite clear that the type and quantity of micro-organisms in your gut interact with your body in ways that can either prevent or encourage the development of many diseases. The ideal ratio between the bacteria in your gut is 85 percent "good" and 15 percent "bad.""
