Germs help sushi digestion

Hi everyone who reads this post, this report is taken from The Straits Times Online. The URL of this webpage is: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/TechandScience/Story/STIStory_512027.html and you can read the real report there. Below is my reflections on this report.

Actually this report is about Japanese being able to digest sushi and other seaweed-wrapped delicacies easily, which was found out by scientists. After reading this article, I feel that this is a great discovery as scientists might be able to use this discovery to probably inject these bacteria into human bodies and maybe this would help those people who had digestive problem and could not eat these delicacies.

But I wondered if is there any side effects that will cause other problems (eg. heart problems etc.). But if there is no side effects, I really support the scientists to inject the bacteria into people bodies as this will help a lot people, like my mother. My mother had digestive problems and could not eat these foods. Once she ate these foods, she would have bloated tummy and feel like vomiting. In my opinion, this is because in her stomach, there is a lack of these bacteria and the stomach could not digest the food well thus, causing these effects.

This is the websites I went to get my infomation: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/TechandScience/Story/STIStory_512027.html
