Thank you for the discussion. Interesting and helpful info.👍
We've had a gut microbiome for millions of years, since long before humans evolved. Our environment, our lifestyles, etc., affect it, positively and, especially in recent decades, negatively due to exposure to artificial compounds, including antibiotics and toxic pollutants we ingest from our environment, air, water, industrialised food chain, etc. Like all multicellular organisms, we are ecosystems. And, yes, the pollution we allow defending economic ideology is killing us.
