New research on bacteria in the gut is challenging traditional theories that blame sedentary modern lifestyles for the dramatic rise in diabetes and other chronic diseases.

Among them is Dr Eliana Marino of Monash University, who's due to present findings on diet and type one diabetes to the International Congress of Immunology in Melbourne later this week.
