    I wonder heavily about processed food that doesn’t go bad(i.e fast food burger does not rot) Does the lack of decay out of body imply that the microbes in our gut will struggle to break them down. Also what do chemicals like glyphosate do to our microbiome? Also what are enzymes that are listed on food ingredients? Am i barking up wrong tree?

    interested to know more about stevia leaf extract and how it relates to infertility in men and women. Finding it used in a lot of "healthy" alternatives - like Kombucha and Smart Sweets

    Also I think we need to study the reason we are having Antibiotics in the first place, an altered Ph. I believe that Milk /Dairy is changing our Microbiome drastically I had many lifelong symptoms that I never connected to Dairy and em when I removed Dairy especially Lactose from my diet also meds that had Lactose in and anything with Lactic acid the byproducts of Dairy did I see my symptoms disappear, I do have to stay off them to keep well, they are added to a lot of foods and drinks as a preservative, and j believe changing our Microbiome drastically. I would love to see this studied please. Most of the world population can not tolerate Dairy or Lactose, don’t you think this is a bit of a clue ?? Looking at things logically too. My 3 Grandchildren went from breast feeding to formula and I have watched their immunity lower with one cold after the next. So my question is, is milk lowering our immunity is it causing a lower Ph in our Microbiome ?? Please could this be studied.

    Great idea! Wondering? Have you ever deep dived into how processed milk is created? And if we could get research could it be performed on all milk from farm to table?
