致谢

这本书能够完稿和出版发行，离不开中国和北美医学营养、微生物制药与微生态学、微生物组与益生菌方面的科学家、医生和朋友们的支持和建议。我要感谢他们每个人，他们的鼓励和引导使我完成了这种独立的思考和写作。

首先和最重要的，感谢我极好的妻子和她所给予的耐心；也感谢我们两个可爱而令人惊羡的孩子——子瀚和枫枫，一直给我灵感和快乐。

特别感谢袁杰力教授和陈杰鹏博士。感谢“康白纪念基金”。

感谢我的研究生导师高孔荣教授以及他曾给予我在食品发酵和生物工程领域的指导。

最后，感谢我的父母和其他家人，给我机会在营养和生命科学领域不断学习。他们也曾为我创造了开放而自由的环境，并让我能够去追逐自己的梦想。在不久的将来，我会尽力去实现我们所期望的更有价值的人生。

崔岸
