  8. People long thought the appendix served no purpose.

    Today scientists say that the appendix produces and saves certain micro organisms that are good for the body.

    The body requires a certain amount of bacteria to operate and to digest food.  The appendix, produces some.  Not to worry if you no longer have an appendix, as there are a multitude of other ways we get these bacteria.

    If a person's system becomes too free of these micro organisms, through dysentary, or long term use of anti-biotics, the appendix can "reboot" the digestive system.

    This was the result of a study at Duke University that was published in 2007.
