Appendix

Today I read a very interesting article on the website of Dr. Mercola.
It is about the fact that the appendix does have a function.
Well, that is something that I always thought. I cannot imagine our bodies having useless features, would be kinda odd biologically speaking to put effort and energy into creating something that is useless.
It seems that is the place for the gut bacteria, which make total sense to me.
There you go, have a read:
