           | microbiota to microbiom to save a character?

       | metabolic pathways are long and quite diverse from person to

       | 
       | The bigger question is how do we control the gut microbiota
       | effectively and accurately?
       | 
       | ALSO, I must point out:

       | 
       | This is a SKEPTICAL claim, as the footnote trial references used
       | do NOT state this.

         | wouldn't know what's best between sweet potatoes or pure white
         | sugar. It's almost like not knowing you need o2 to breath or
         | water to survive

         | If you are on the Standard American Diet, and having autoimmune
         | disorders, then improving any diet can 'dampen', and that might
         | be enough.
         | 
         | Don't think anybody thinks diet is a 'cure' of autoimmune
         | disorders, just some improvement.
