The first scientific evidence that microorganisms are part of the normal human system emerged in the mid-1880s but not much importance was attached to it. Human are dependent on these bacteria for digestion, to produce certain vitamins, regulate the immune system, and fight with disease-causing bacteria. Babies born by c-section lacked strains of commensal bacteria those typically found in healthy individuals whereas these bacteria made up most of the gut community of vaginally delivered infants. Epidemiological studies have suggested that children born by c-section have an increased risk of asthma and obesity later in life. The increase on the global rates of c-section births is a cause of concerned since at least in Caenorhabditis elegans these characters pass on epigenetically more than 10 generation. If this is so in human population, whole world population will suffer with such ailments.
