For those asking if this is a “fake podcast”…go and watch the full video I’ve uploaded today WITH my guest, Tim Spector 😂. Hopefully it’ll be a good watch!
What are people even talking about, there's no such thing as a fake podcast 😂 if you're having a discussion with audio recording and you upload the audio to a platform, with or without video, and it can be listened to without watching the video, it's a podcast. No one refers to podcasts as only official casts on a specific podcasting platform, you can just chat with a friend on camera and if the video can work without the visuals, it's a podcast. Semantics of what defines a podcast is totally irrelevant in the year 2023, "real podcasts" were a 2002 thing, those requirements are invalid, if you call a show a podcast, it's a podcast because you call it that. It's a freaking made up word, people are such crybabies 😂

Usually they're just talking nonsense and the supposed full podcast never existed but rather they created short conversation in the fake studio about whatever topic they wanna talk about (usually content farms related topics like cheap mascot horror games) for RUclips Shorts ONLY to clickbait kids for more views.
@@-desertpackrat it's talking about a specific phenomenon where people would edit their videos to seem as though they were talking to a guest on a podcast -- bc for some reason folks think that solo podcasts aren't a thing 😅 i love that you bring up how old podcasting as a medium is, tho -- drives me nuts when people think that it's only been around for 8 or so years when it's been a thing as long as iPods have existed (hence the name!!)
It's probably difficult because what they digest is nori and stuff like that, I think we would need a fermented nori product or something similar (?) which probably would smell foul like natto And it's not guaranteed that those bacteria can adhere to the intestinal epithelial cells of non japanese people. It's a great idea but it needs more clinical trials. Edit. I explained it below of why it wouldn't be necessary to do fecal transplant, according to my knowledge and understanding.
Unfortunately, I can’t remember the source, but I can remember once reading an article that this was because of how nori was created in the US versus Japan. In the US it’s steam dried, so it is heated to a temperature where the natural bacteria in the seaweed is killed whereas in Japan, it’s air dried so that the bacteria can go into a hibernation state, and then get reawaken when eaten. The article also was talking about the advantage of home gardening in that when eating a tomato out of the garden it has on the outside of it bacteria that is most conducive to break down the tomato. I will try to find the article and see if I can cited here. The bottom line if you want on my diversity, I’ve got bacteria try to eat food as close to its original form as possible.
Gut bacterias are the most valuable ally of humankind. Ince u got IBS after intense antibiotic treatment, you realize how much important they are. It is not a joke. Keep them healthy.
Indeed, it seems likely that the whole reason we have an appendix, which can occasionally get infected, rupture, and kill us, is that it provides a reservoir for the gut biome during intense diarrheal episodes, allowing the microbes to re-populate the gut quickly after pathogens have been flushed-out. The reward of a healthy gut biome, it seems, is very much worth quite a few risks.
Gut flora and other beneficial organisms that live in/on us are basically like free pets that form an entire ecosystem. It is amazing how there's an entire ecosystem inside your body that depends on your survival for theirs. To some organisms, you are the world.
When I was a kid I used to get horrible ear infections and we had a neighbor from Hawaii, her Mom and Dad lived in Osaka, Japan and they used yo send me nori snacks to help with the diarrhea I always got from the antibiotics. The best one was this one that was soft and squishy; it had pickled plums in the center. The nori always got me feeling better in a day or two. And American nori is just not the same it's always burnt tasting. I can find the kind I like at some of my local Korean markets than god
Seaweed is in a ton of Japanese food besides sushi. Sushi in the role form isn't as old as you might think either. Early forms of sushi were just sashimi over the rice with no seaweed.
As a Westerner, you think of seaweed as those little papers made of red algae. In Japanese cuisine there are over 100 types of seaweed. Wrapped sushi may be new but eating seaweed isn't.
@@jamesdagmond Yes, you're right. We eat a lot of seaweed in Japan. Your local supermarket will have nori, konbu, wakame, hijiki, mozuku, kanten jellies made from tengusa seaweed, and sometimes even mekabu(same plant as wakame, just the crunchy bit) and umi-budou.
This reinforces the fact that there is not one size fits all diet, and we probably need to develop testing to show people the optimal diet according to their genetics and ancestry. We need to know if we absorb the nutrients from the foods we are eating properly since there is individual variability.
Yep! Because of divergent evolution, the type of food that is most easily digestible for us is the type of food that is culturally, locationally, and ethnically similar to us
Your microbiome will adapt to your diet... Eat garbage food and the bacteria that likes healthier food will die out while the others will thrive hence why you will crave more garbage even though it's not good for your body. Vice versa also works but indeed you should test out what is most efficient for your body. For example, if you are a descendant of people that are a lot of fish there's a chance it'll be more efficient for you but it will also depend on how you grew up and what you age aswell as your parents more specifically your mother as she will be the source of the first bacteria your body will assimilate through milk.

This is exactly why people need to take enthicity and culture in account when it comes to nutrition rather than the masses, including what you learn in school. Sometimes, the evolution of a particular people is so because of their location and years of eating a particular thing.
This is extremely controversial even though I completely agree. Different groups of people who evolved separately from one another probably would benefit from specialized treatment. However research into the topic is quite scarce and again very controversial. Tho I don’t really understand why? Races are different, that doesn’t mean better or lesser than.
@@Zadir09Research into the difference between "races" is scarce and controversial because to even start that research, you'd have to accept some pretty racist and arbitrary assumptions to be true.You'd first have to define race, something that only exists as a societal concept and cannot be measured in biological terms. The idea of race, which ones exist and who belongs in what, changes across cultures and time. It does not exist outside the social separation of certain people into arbitrary groups. In fact, the majority of race research has been done *by* racists and white supremacists trying to justify their racism using badly done science. The very concept of race, and the ensuing "race science" began as a way to justify enslaving non-europeans. They look different, act different, and generally are inferior primitives who need European guidance. And the concept of race has grown since then but there still remains the core idea in the western world that certain people look visibly different to whites, which also determines their mental capacity and personalities, which ultimately justifies oppressing them for the benefit of whites

I wonder what other unique relationships between gut bacteria and different ethnic groups exist. I am from Northern Europe. I cannot go too long without drinking milk or I start to get physically unwell. Muscle aches and severe fatigue. Meanwhile my friend places like the Mediterranean cannot have it without paying due worship to the porcelain god afterwards.
@soupisfornoobs4081 Oh really? That is fascinating. I may have fallen into some confirmation bias. I had seen a study which showed lactose interlorance increases the further south you go, but it may have over emphasized that increase. Just because it's slightly more likely in one region than another still doesn't necessarily mean it's likely in that region.
@soupisfornoobs4081 That could be it, my friends from the mediterranean region aren't Greek, some are Italian and some are Lebanese. Just rechecked the NIH stats. Greece's lactose intolerance levels are a good bit lower than both those countries but it still says that it's about 50% of the Greek populace affected by intolerance. I wonder how they determined these numbers. Also is your milk production largely goat's milk? I've been meaning to study it more since the formula shortage. I heard people turned to the Goat farmers for milk as it was the most suitable substitute for babies in a way cows milk was not. I wonder if that contributes to the tolerance. Interesting stuff.
I would be curious if anything similar was found in other native peoples from areas that historically consume a lot of seaweed, like Scotland or Ireland

Could this be due to the preparation, consumtion of such things like fermented foods , simple preparation of high quality foods with in each meal that also fluctuate with flavor but maintains similar nutrient value?
i reaaaaaalllly want to learn more about the differences in genetics between differeing nations to see the different ways we adapt to things over time or how keeping within our environements and ethnic groups have led to specific genetic strengths and weaknesses
Here's one I learned in my anthropology class: ethnicities who live in super cold climates evolve to have less surface area and ethnicities in hot climates evolve to have more. So if you take two people of the same height and weight, the cold evolved human will have shorter limbs and a longer torso, and the hot evolved person will be made of legs and arms. Friend of mine's dad had a mental break and went and sat under a bush in the snow on a mountain in the middle of nowhere for three days. He survived and just had some frost-bite on his toes. The doctor said it was a good thing he was genetically a big fat Norwegian guy, cuz if he was genetically a talk skinny African, he'd be dead. We're glad he didn't choose Death Valley in the summer.
@@FallacyBites yeah that’s fascinating it makes a lot of sense as someone of African ancestry myself who has grown up in the northern hemisphere my self I still struggle with the cold and I’m always in awe of white people around me who it seems to bother a lot less.

There's a part of Sub-Saharan Africa where people have a larger incidence of sickle cell anemia. This is because the same mutation that gives you sickle cell anemia also makes you resistant to malaria. But if you get sickle cells from both parents you just die.

So in Nova Scotia Canada generations of individuals have been eating a seaweed called Dulce wound they have similar microbiome, both products taste the same only one is not processed.
Great.........thanks, now I've got a craving for Sushi. Thanks loads........Also evolution is just, it's an incredibly fascinating process and the more I learn about it, the more I wish I could live hundreds of years just to watch it grow.
Plant rhizospheres do the same. The plant speaks to the roots, which speak to the mycorrhizal fungi, all the other fungi & bacteria.. They basically map the soil & know where certain nutrients are, & will exude food to specific areas for specific microbes so the plant can take as much of anything it wants. They will allow more useful microbes to thrive more.
"Look guys, god made even bacteria exactly how he wanted it to work, this is why we're talking about its literal evolution happening right now after millions of years of existence"
I absolutely love how you can find evolutionary differences in people's digestive system based on how their population eats! Something a lot of people don't know is that the ability to consume lactose is actually a mutation originating in northern Europe. So if you can drink lactose, you're probably a northern race, or have an ancestor that was! This is why it is more common for white people to be able to drink milk, which is also why that one weird article about milk being racist was written. Also, I don't know if this says much about human evolution at all, but to some people broccoli is sweet, to others it's neutral, and to others it's bitter!
The symbiotic bacteria are not doing this for our benefit, but for theirs. It increases the benefit to them of the seaweed. I'm sure there are other examples of this type of beneficial adaptation in symbiotic gut bacteria for specialized food.
I'm surprised hes saying this "nonsensically" since it's so logical but I guess hes saying it for "clicks", but it's not really the "sushi" eating population of Japan or "Sushi eaters" in particular. Nori has been a part of Japanese cuisine since forever because it contains glutamic acid that gives the UMAMI flavor today. It's sold today in a crystal form called MSG(Monosodium Glutamate), it's used as a flavor enhancement agents and has been a part of Japanese cousine way way before Sushi was a thing. Unlike what people assume Sushi as you know it today is a very new invention enabled by freezing. Sushi is safe and edible not because of magic but because the Japanese freeze the fish meat as soon as they catch it killing all the parasites and similar cells by bursting them via shock freezing that make ice crystals tear the cells apart. All the old "Sushi" was basically fish soaked in Vinegar and Rice for months. Seaweed has nothing to do with it What the Japanese did however consume for centuries is seaweed in Miso Soups, Salads, Side Dishes like we would eat cucumber today. Some were used as herbs like aonori because of their strong taste.
Imagine if all the processed American foods that have unnatural oils do something similar. Basically Americans 200 years from now can chug engine oil for breakfast or something.
This is supposed to be new? Why do you think foreign people get sick from eating in another country? I tend to always get sick when I travel because the bacteria in the food in other countries, the citizens are already immune to the bacteria that isn’t in my country.
Proof that God exist. He made us be able to evolve and adapt to things to keep us from being sick. I myself have never been seriously sick but i have had a sinus infection maybe 4 times my whole life.
Its because they all eat seaweed heavily and WE do not. Its a great pre-biotic and thats why it was helped to evolve as all beings do as we live and die and pass it on.

This is exactly why people need to take enthicity and culture in account when it comes to nutrition rather than the masses, including what you learn in school.
Sometimes, the evolution of a particular people is so because of their location and years of eating a particular thing.
This is extremely controversial even though I completely agree. Different groups of people who evolved separately from one another probably would benefit from specialized treatment. However research into the topic is quite scarce and again very controversial. Tho I don’t really understand why? Races are different, that doesn’t mean better or lesser than.
@@Zadir09Research into the difference between "races" is scarce and controversial because to even start that research, you'd have to accept some pretty racist and arbitrary assumptions to be true.You'd first have to define race, something that only exists as a societal concept and cannot be measured in biological terms. The idea of race, which ones exist and who belongs in what, changes across cultures and time. It does not exist outside the social separation of certain people into arbitrary groups. In fact, the majority of race research has been done *by* racists and white supremacists trying to justify their racism using badly done science. The very concept of race, and the ensuing "race science" began as a way to justify enslaving non-europeans. They look different, act different, and generally are inferior primitives who need European guidance. And the concept of race has grown since then but there still remains the core idea in the western world that certain people look visibly different to whites, which also determines their mental capacity and personalities, which ultimately justifies oppressing them for the benefit of whites
@@Zadir09 controversial cuz people have tendency to devolve to racism when having something different.
@@QWERTY-gp8fddifferent doesn't mean superior or inferior. I'm Southern European and feel better when I eat a Mediterranean diet than when I eat a more Northern European style diet. A Northern European may feel the opposite
@@realitywins9020 that sounds degenerate. i think u are just ashamed of not being white.
So i finally have a reason to go to japan and become an ancient scholar and warrior
Maybe that has something to do with why Japan has the highest life-span average in the world?
There are other factors which determine their population health..dietary factors are one component for sure
@@DrKaranI've seen videos of Japanese people at nursing homes smoking cigarettes so I feel like it's definitely a genetic thing if they all smoke and still live long

Technically they are not Native to the land. There are true natives I.e Ainu people who are native to Japan. I wonder if they have the same bacteria.
I remember reading a story years ago about how wild bellybutton bacteria can be; and that there was this random case of a guy having some that only existed in a specific region of Japan - where he had never been anywhere near. I wonder if it’s the same!
on the surface, researching bellybutton gunk is so nasty, but being able to locate the origins of our little friends that live in there is soooo cool
I just saw a short on this from that guy who numbers his stories. Bizarre.

It's literally evolution. Nothing miracle about it.
I'm Japanese Brazilian and have always eaten nori/wakame, and other kinds of seaweed, I wonder if that's the case with us too.
There's a good chance you've got the bacteria because you're Japanese. Eating seaweed doesn't make it appear tho it's most likely a generic trait
Sushi is made differently in Japan, so not. He said it only works within Japan, (even tho lots of groups eat seaweed.)
I wonder what other unique relationships between gut bacteria and different ethnic groups exist.
I am from Northern Europe. I cannot go too long without drinking milk or I start to get physically unwell. Muscle aches and severe fatigue. Meanwhile my friend places like the Mediterranean cannot have it without paying due worship to the porcelain god afterwards.
I cannot attest to that as a Mediterranean, I've barely met any lactose intolerant people
@soupisfornoobs4081 Oh really? That is fascinating. I may have fallen into some confirmation bias. I had seen a study which showed lactose interlorance increases the further south you go, but it may have over emphasized that increase. Just because it's slightly more likely in one region than another still doesn't necessarily mean it's likely in that region.
@@fe3187 I live in Greece where white cheese and yogurt are staples of our diet, we have our own milk production, maybe that's why we're an exception
@soupisfornoobs4081 That could be it, my friends from the mediterranean region aren't Greek, some are Italian and some are Lebanese.
Just rechecked the NIH stats. Greece's lactose intolerance levels are a good bit lower than both those countries but it still says that it's about 50% of the Greek populace affected by intolerance. I wonder how they determined these numbers.
Also is your milk production largely goat's milk? I've been meaning to study it more since the formula shortage. I heard people turned to the Goat farmers for milk as it was the most suitable substitute for babies in a way cows milk was not. I wonder if that contributes to the tolerance. Interesting stuff.
I'm from the midwest US and I have similar issues when going without milk and beef
Im not Japanese, but was born there. I wonder if I acquired it
I'm Japanese born in Northern Africa and am lactose intolerant so I don't think so
What if we are zombies to bacteria, literally working hard to find and consume food for the guy bacteria 😂
Guess it depends on your perspective! :)
@@DrKaranyah ,but since we have power to kill the bacteria(consuming poison) I guess we are not literal zombies
There are no zombies, grow up... 🙄
@@parulsinha3092There were actual zombies. Voodoo priests made them by drugging the victim.
I would be curious if anything similar was found in other native peoples from areas that historically consume a lot of seaweed, like Scotland or Ireland

I am Masters student and I actually worked in that lab a few months ago. There's some really interesting research happening on that topic currently and they published further elucidation of the entire catabolic process 😊
Shiny! I look forward to seeing more of the cool stuff you guys found d out making it into the zeitgeist ❤
Why is this weirdly wholesome?
I heard this is also true for drinking milk in the netherlands that the bacteria better absorb lactose
So would this help support the theory that the best diet for people is actually the same foods their ancestors ate?
You are probably built for that diet. But what if you have mixed ancestry?
@@johnnyearp52 That's a really good question too.
@@johnnyearp52mother's side is the more important one becauee she passes it to child via womb. So it probably depends on the mix she got herself from her mother. But ofc there's still must be some impact from father's side. Like if he's slavic the child most likely will have higher alcohol tolerance
@@mlekosojowe7312 All your intestines, stomach, etc. come from the genetics of both parents though.
No.
Gotta find a Japanese wife to get that ability in my future generations 🤧
If they were able to make probiotics containing this bacteria would that mean that we would be able to digest cellulose?
That'd be revolutionary. We wouldn't need to worry abt food shortages
Cow has two stomachs to digest that. Dont think we are going to evolve into that 😂
I need to travel to increase my microbiome diversity
This is fascinating. It shows the interconnected synergy of lifeforms for better health.
If I can’t have it, I will make sure my kids will have it. Aight, pray me goodluck finding my ‘native japanese wife’ 🛫
Looove these videos! My unquenchable thirst for knowledge has been rehydrated!!
This is literally why my parents used to say they can't digest bread and get constipation when they eat it.
It's wild how we have an entire universe of microbes just hanging out in our bodies.
well, they’re not just _hanging out_ - a lot of them participate in digestion, immune system and other processes. we evolved together for a reason.
Could this be due to the preparation, consumtion of such things like fermented foods , simple preparation of high quality foods with in each meal that also fluctuate with flavor but maintains similar nutrient value?
i reaaaaaalllly want to learn more about the differences in genetics between differeing nations
to see the different ways we adapt to things over time or how keeping within our environements and ethnic groups have led to specific genetic strengths and weaknesses
Here's one I learned in my anthropology class: ethnicities who live in super cold climates evolve to have less surface area and ethnicities in hot climates evolve to have more. So if you take two people of the same height and weight, the cold evolved human will have shorter limbs and a longer torso, and the hot evolved person will be made of legs and arms.
Friend of mine's dad had a mental break and went and sat under a bush in the snow on a mountain in the middle of nowhere for three days. He survived and just had some frost-bite on his toes. The doctor said it was a good thing he was genetically a big fat Norwegian guy, cuz if he was genetically a talk skinny African, he'd be dead.
We're glad he didn't choose Death Valley in the summer.
@@FallacyBites yeah that’s fascinating it makes a lot of sense as someone of African ancestry myself who has grown up in the northern hemisphere my self I still struggle with the cold and I’m always in awe of white people around me who it seems to bother a lot less.
@@faebalina7786 and if you're surrounded by Wisconsinites like my husband whose genetics are literally 200 years of constant famine and warfare, it's even worse, cuz their genes lean really hard into being heat emitting polar bears. Seriously, it was negative 5 degrees and he was wearing only a sweatshirt, long sleeve shirt with no gloves, hat, or scarf---meanwhile I had every layer and all the technology. I felt his hands, and They Were Still Emitting Heat.
HOW???
There's a part of Sub-Saharan Africa where people have a larger incidence of sickle cell anemia.
This is because the same mutation that gives you sickle cell anemia also makes you resistant to malaria.
But if you get sickle cells from both parents you just die.
@@2712animefreak wow yeah that’s fascinating I’d heard of sickle cell but didn’t know that the cell served a purpose and offered that immunity it’s intriguing and simultaneously tragic but I hope blood tests and education can help and of course ongoing research. I believe they have made some gains in the past two years on sickle cell treatments but still long way to go.
So in Nova Scotia Canada generations of individuals have been eating a seaweed called Dulce wound they have similar microbiome, both products taste the same only one is not processed.
Great.........thanks, now I've got a craving for Sushi. Thanks loads........Also evolution is just, it's an incredibly fascinating process and the more I learn about it, the more I wish I could live hundreds of years just to watch it grow.
Haha
Plant rhizospheres do the same. The plant speaks to the roots, which speak to the mycorrhizal fungi, all the other fungi & bacteria..
They basically map the soil & know where certain nutrients are, & will exude food to specific areas for specific microbes so the plant can take as much of anything it wants.
They will allow more useful microbes to thrive more.
God is so good! Even bacteria was made intelligent enough to help us thrive! ❤️❤️✝️
"Look guys, god made even bacteria exactly how he wanted it to work, this is why we're talking about its literal evolution happening right now after millions of years of existence"
God quite has nothing to do with this...
Bacteria are not intelligent, they aren't sentient beings 😭
I absolutely love how you can find evolutionary differences in people's digestive system based on how their population eats! Something a lot of people don't know is that the ability to consume lactose is actually a mutation originating in northern Europe. So if you can drink lactose, you're probably a northern race, or have an ancestor that was! This is why it is more common for white people to be able to drink milk, which is also why that one weird article about milk being racist was written.
Also, I don't know if this says much about human evolution at all, but to some people broccoli is sweet, to others it's neutral, and to others it's bitter!
The symbiotic bacteria are not doing this for our benefit, but for theirs. It increases the benefit to them of the seaweed. I'm sure there are other examples of this type of beneficial adaptation in symbiotic gut bacteria for specialized food.
If I eat small bits of rock for 8 generations, maybe, just maybe, I can have rock acid in my grandchild's stomach.
Explains why some people can't eat sushi
Perhaps if you separate the rice and the meat with some other veggies that come with it, they can
The bacteria enzyme help break down the cell wall in the seaweed in particular
Gut bacteria be evolving to maximize cheetos now-adays
so far everyone that watched it liked it 😂
I'm surprised hes saying this "nonsensically" since it's so logical but I guess hes saying it for "clicks", but it's not really the "sushi" eating population of Japan or "Sushi eaters" in particular. Nori has been a part of Japanese cuisine since forever because it contains glutamic acid that gives the UMAMI flavor today. It's sold today in a crystal form called MSG(Monosodium Glutamate), it's used as a flavor enhancement agents and has been a part of Japanese cousine way way before Sushi was a thing. Unlike what people assume Sushi as you know it today is a very new invention enabled by freezing. Sushi is safe and edible not because of magic but because the Japanese freeze the fish meat as soon as they catch it killing all the parasites and similar cells by bursting them via shock freezing that make ice crystals tear the cells apart. All the old "Sushi" was basically fish soaked in Vinegar and Rice for months. Seaweed has nothing to do with it
What the Japanese did however consume for centuries is seaweed in Miso Soups, Salads, Side Dishes like we would eat cucumber today. Some were used as herbs like aonori because of their strong taste.
Imagine if all the processed American foods that have unnatural oils do something similar. Basically Americans 200 years from now can chug engine oil for breakfast or something.
Its the same thing with lactose and ethnically Europeans and other pastoral communities
This is supposed to be new?
Why do you think foreign people get sick from eating in another country?
I tend to always get sick when I travel because the bacteria in the food in other countries, the citizens are already immune to the bacteria that isn’t in my country.
When I drink kombucha I definitely have better digestion, sleep better, feel better. Hate the taste but love the results.
What does it mean in practice? Do they gain more calories from seaweed or more nutrients or both?
Can someone please break it down for me. Much love from Yonkers New York! #914
Proof that God exist. He made us be able to evolve and adapt to things to keep us from being sick. I myself have never been seriously sick but i have had a sinus infection maybe 4 times my whole life.
I’m curious if Koreans and Chinese also have this?
Asking as a Korean person
I wonder how long until we get a McDonald's bacteria in the USA
Fascinating. I love learning new things about bacteria, especially good bacteria.

The cellous is digested in surgar which makes suishi as healthy as potato chips 🤢
That's a wild example. I had no idea. That's almost a super power.
“It’s the same bacteria that’s found in an American person’s gut, but…”
Me: “IT SPEAKS JAPANESE!!”
Okay but why did I vomit when I first and last time I ate sushi with my friends, I was the only one
Its because they all eat seaweed heavily and WE do not. Its a great pre-biotic and thats why it was helped to evolve as all beings do as we live and die and pass it on.

this is hardly new. we know that many humans around the world have different gut bacteria depending on their diet and the region they live in.
Wondering if this applies to us that live by the coast & eat sea grass & peri winkles?

An amazing book on gut biome and fermentation cooking is "The art of fermentation" by Katz. Although not purely relying on scientific research talk a lot about the history of gut microbes.

Our gut biome and microbe ecosystem should be studied and researched extensively
So my guts have their own society
Interesting!!! I work with Becteroides species -Many different ones as pathogenic to human health. Deep wound abscesses, wounds and so on. They are Strictly Anaerobic. Means only will survive without air. Never knew about this property of digesting raw food and only found in Japanese people!! I would really like the know what species of Bacteroides is this!!
Welcome to last of US😂
Why can't we make junk food good for us😂
Hmm.Then please explain why Japan is on the top 5/top 10 list of countries that have high cases of stomach cancer. Look up the stats on Google if u don't believe me!...Answer that Doctor
How does that correlate to an enzyme which breaks down cell walls ???? You are claiming seaweed causes cancer?
Yeah the same thing happened with xanthan gum here in the u.s, some bacteria can turn it into short chain fatty acids when before it was supposed to pass through you.
So, if someone who's not Japanese eats Sushi every day, will their gut bacteria eventually mutate too?
