A very interesting and surprisingly understandable presentation. I am no scholar, but I followed this to the end and it made sense. Thank you for posting this.
"Bad eating habits" would include... Refined carbohydrates: particularly sugar(s) and flour(s). Industrial seed oils of any kind, no matter how purportedly "heart healthy." If consumed as a significant portion of the diet over time, the aforementioned empty calorie non-foods will totally screw up your microbiome - major dysbiosis and autoimmunity: guaranteed.
All industrial oils corn canola soy etc etc, all chemical artificial sweeteners most of which destroy gut bacteria, all non GMO non organic produce glyphosate was patented as an antibiotic and even all the so called heart-healthy whole grains are saturated with it including that container of Quaker oats. Non organic non grass fed meats fed all the GMO feed, also heavy lectin containing foods which are mostly your grains and seeds.
@@andrewheath5948 , Oh, you haven't heard the term "empty calories?" These are high calorie foods that contain little to no nutrients. In the past, through the 1980s, 90s into the 2000s, saturated fat was referred to as an "empty calorie" because fat is energy dense (9 calories per gram) and, as we know, was considered atherogenic (still no evidence despite looking very hard with biased studies). In addition to saturated fat, fats from grass fed animals can actually contain omega 3 fats which are essential nutrients. Fish and seafood is considered the richest but not exclusive source. The true "empty calories" come from industrial foods such as seed oils (corn, soy, cotton seed, canola, etc, whether hydrogenated or not) sugars, refined grains, etc. etc. The refined carbs have zero nutrition and the oils are energy dense. Most industrial foods are composed of a significant percentage of both. High calorie, low nutrition, hence empty calories.

To further clear up the difference between the microbiome and microbiota, think of the microbiome as a house, the furniture inside the house, the HVAC inside the house, the people inside the house, the pets inside the house, etc. Think of the microbiota as just the people, pets, and other living organisms inside the house. The microbiome consists of the microbiota AND all other environmental factors.
I became pre-diabetic after a course of antibiotics to cure a long lasting sore throat and cough. Probably the 7th or 8th time I had taken antibiotics in my life.

I've been wondering the same. I think it helps. I've been doing intermittent fasting, and the changes are pretty incredible. I've also been whole food, almost completely plant based. Lots of probiotics.
Yes, glyphosate alone MIGHT not cause issues. It's glyphosate combined with other chemicals that has been shown to cause issues. I love nih.gov, but they cherry pick, and don't give the entire story sometimes also. It is that deep.

COVID seems to hit people badly who've co-morbidities like obesity, chronic inflammation and type II diabetes as well as the elderly in nursing homes. It would be interesting to investigate gut microbiome diversity as a function of COVID severity/death.
Apparently it has a known negative effect on bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms (shikimate pathway). It has been shown to affect the micro biomes of rats. It has been written off as not of concern for humans, but given how much we don't know/are finding out about our micro biome and health, some may think that is premature. Especially as billions of litres of this chemical is added to the environment each year apparently.

There are people who have cured themselves of chronic illness, depression, and had labs showing exemplary results and they eat head to tail carnivore-NO grains-God no-no to low carbs- they watch their insulin production. 2017 it seems this lady still had work to do... look at the microbiome with varying diets but heavily controlled.
I am sure that the people that have cured themselves of ailments on carnivore diet is likely due to elimination of processed junk food and not necessarily due to meat, organs and bone broths.
Why is duke steele so interested in saving us from ourselves? He knows absolutely that shikamate pathway disrupters are not a hazard and that organics are not needed. Does he own the feedmill in town that sells gmo seeds and "weed" killers?
how sad that you depict 65-80 year old, bent over and with a walking stick- no doubt, food and lifestyle choice may be good reason to end this way, but, we certainly dont know what we dont know, and this depiction could dramatically change, well in me it has.
Although I have developed several limitations, I have every intention of being extremely active (I do not need a walking stick at all when I walk each day)! And I have been fortunate enough to have few problems. I am bothered too by the depiction of older people. I was tremendously bothered by the infirmities obvious when I went to a 50th high school reunion, so many people were very limited. I had known of deaths in my group but I was surprised by the quantity of people who needed some type of support even to live their lives.
I'm curious...If, before the most recent acknowledgement on the microbiota, scientists thought that the microbes were inert "dust particles" that inhabited humans, what did they think regarding other animals? For example, giraffe, gorilla, chimpanzee, panda, koala. Did they think the respective gut floras were just inert particles? If not, why have humans always been viewed as separate from other animals, even by scientists?
Even in the 1970's (when I studied microbiology) nobody thought that the intestinal flora was inert. Everyone knew that when the flora was wiped out, digestion was negatively altered, and a healthy flora could protect one from disease. What we didn't know was how diverse it is, because good gene sequencing tools didn't exist. (One no longer faces the waste of time, spending a whole night baby-sitting your poly-acrylamide gel, only to realize you have over cleaved with your EcoR1.) To study the flora, we would plate out a stool specimen on agar, and incubate it. Seldom would we even place the plate in a candle jar, to remove the oxygen. But the gut is not an oxygen rich environment, so many of the organisms didn't grow, as they are better suited to a micro-aerobic or anaeobic environment. . But just because we didn't realize just how diverse the flora is, doesn't mean we thought of it as inert. Even in the 60's people knew to eat yogurt when they took antibiotics. No decent scientist thinks of humans as being totally distinct from other animals. If they did, fields like comparative immunology would not exist, and science would not use animal models.
Aren’t humans superior to animals? So our biology must be superior as well? It’s probably inert in all others but our microbes are special. Especially in white people who are the most superior? That’s what they teach in life here in America.
"science" said we had junk DNA too, not far off from the magicians and alchemists they replaced in Thier denial, deciet and delusions. God dont make junk Dna! En arche een ho Lógos...!
I’m calling complete and utter bullpucky on the conclusions drawn that a plant-based diet is all goodness and eating red meat with choline, cholesterol and l-carnitine is bad because the gut bacteria clostridium creates the byproduct trimethylamine which is converted to TMAO in the liver and that is supposed to be the smoking gun to CVD. Reductionistic nonsense. If this is true people who eat a lot of eggs or fish for that matter would have higher rates of CVD since they also cause a rise in TMAO for a brief period of time after eating. Never mind cholesterol and choline are in incredibly important in maintaining the structure of our cells and driving cellular metabolism. Lots of plants equals goodness. No doubt. But so does ethically raised animal meat that are fed their natural diets without hormones or antibiotics. Again, complete reductionistic nonsense.
this lady needs to redo her research in regards to fiber and fat. she is out of date and needs to look at how well people are doing on a Carnivore diet
This is just my 'gut feeling' (har-har) as an arm-chair biome experimenter but I suspect that the appendix might function as a biome oasis that serves to re-establish flora. I could be totally wrong. That's just bare intuition, which data often disproves. I hope we find out for real someday!
This was published 3 years ago. Since then new things came up and more is understood. People heal their gut eating carnivore diet. No fiber needed.... so on... Go find new information
I'm always open to new information, but all I've found is that fiber feeds the good bacteria. Do you have any links to articles or videos specifically linking the carnivore diet and gut bacteria?
calling the SAD "meat-based" discredited her quite a lot! SAD is 80% plant food, not even close to LC, the most conservative meat-based approach. Very disappointing to hear her repeat the global vegan agenda narrative, mixed up with her actual research.
Could be that SAD is eighty percent refined carbs, ie refined sugar, refined fats, refined flour, things that are often combined with animal products. Also Oreos, chips, etc but no way is a wholesome plant food part of SAD.
Nursing homes: crap "food" lacking variety (type, colour, origin), no exercise, lots of antibiotics and other drugs. Scinece will prove what we already know.
