Gut biome...shmut biome!
Recent studies showing how human beings differ in the processing/metabolizing of the same food is raising eyebrows! Not mine!
EVERY human being will respond differently to EVERY food. We're ALL different! However, what's in your gut is less important than the overall PATTERN of eating, over time. To parse an individual diet into individual foods for the perfect individual shot at health and longevity is just INSANE...and uniquely American.
The longest-lived, disease-free people on the planet in the Blue Zones don't give a shit about any of this. They just eat real food, lots of veggies, drink a little wine, dance, relax, move a lot every day, and have a sense of purpose.
Creating the PERFECT tailored diet is INSANE for the general population!!!!
We eat too much added sugar, added fat, refined carbs, processed shit, fried shit, and junk. That's it. More veggies, less junk is a great start. It doesn't need to be perfect.
This gut stuff is insane. Next we'll be learning about colon bacteria. Who gives a shit (pun intended)?
Fork and mouth biome trumps gut biome...which is just a new way for research dweebs to get funding and others to make excuses for poor eating and poor health.
We eat horribly (below). It makes us sick.
We simply need to start with eating LESS horribly by eating less YELLOW, more GREEN.
No gut check needed!!!
