This information has no meaning seeing as the appendix is connected to nothing of importance, it's not connected to your gull bladder, stomach, or intestines. I may only be 12 but I am very smart and know that nobody in the world can know exactly what it does, there have been conferences etc. But this can only be a guestimate. They shouldn't project into anyones mind that this is the complete truth unless they see it in action "Researchers in the United States say the appendix produces and protects good germs for the gut by "rebooting" the digestive system.", as if to say they know exactly!
How can nobody in the world know what it does? Do you know what everybody in the world knows? And why would it be a guestimate if they didnt guess or estimate anything? Its the Duke University, im pretty sure they know what they are doing. Its not like someone who goes to college says "hey, maybe this thing does this" and goes out and publishes it, there IS research and expirementation involved in studies you know. And you dont need to watch something to know what it does, we know our brain thinks but we cant just open someones head and watch them think. Oh and BTW it is connected to the intestines, the cecum is a part of the large intestine.
This makes me laugh. Kid please try doing a little more research before you comment on university studies, please.
if you ever happened to look at a picture of the appendix you would know it in fact IS connected to your large intestine and last time I checked your intestines are pretty important. You may be a smart 12 year old but maybe you should know where something is before you say it isn't connected to anything important.
I was told years ago from my great grandfather who was a farmer that the appendix was for collecting seeds from fruit. He said man was never intended to eat meat just fruits. I'm not saying it's true that's just what I was told. However I have done research on this and many claim this to be true.
