I just saw this news story from Friday.

In a nutshell, woman with bad C. Diff gut infection got a poop transplant from her obese daughter. It worked, killing off the C. Diff bacteria, but one year later, the woman dramatically gained weight and is now obese too.

I bet it does work the other way around. And when this gets widely known. I'll be rich! Rich, I tell you!

And now a new study published in Cell strongly links gut bacteria to Parkinsons disease.

The BBC says:
Quote:
Researchers used mice genetically programmed to develop Parkinson's as they produced very high levels of the protein alpha-synuclein, which is associated with damage in the brains of Parkinson's patients.

But only those animals with bacteria in their stomachs developed symptoms. Sterile mice remained healthy.

Further tests showed transplanting bacteria from Parkinson's patients to mice led to more symptoms than bacteria taken from healthy people.

Dr Timothy Sampson, one of the researchers at the California Institute of Technology, said: "This was the 'eureka' moment, the mice were genetically identical, the only difference was the presence or absence of gut microbiota.

"Now we were quite confident that gut bacteria regulate, and are even required for, the symptoms of Parkinson's disease."

The scientists believe the bacteria are releasing chemicals that over-activate parts of the brain, leading to damage.

Well, this is shit news.


And speaking of dirty hippy foods, the claim of Tempeh being a great source of B-12 vitamins doesn't hold true for store bought Tempeh in the US. Our production methods are too clean and in order to develop the B-12 it needs to be dirty Asian hippy made so the B-12 producing bacteria can thrive.

You can make your own dirty hippie pickles, kimchi, etc. They are teh yum, unless you have intractable migraines that are triggered by fermented foods.

But for most people the homemade fermented stuff is great. And the gut microbiome is key.

Just saw this Scientific American article about two recent studies that found a link between gut bacteria and multiple sclerosis.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...ple-sclerosis/

They have a disclaimer, though: "It’s too soon to know how important the microbiome is in increasing the risk of MS compared to the 200 genetic variants that have been linked to the disease, or compared to the Epstein-Barr virus, smoking, and low levels of vitamin D, which also seem to play a role."

I don't have the link on my phone, but MIT also just released a study confirming that a certain bacteria in the guts of pregnant mice leads to autism symptoms in their offspring. More specifically, the entire process--both the damaging of the fetal brain, and the improper activity that brain engages in after birth--is immune-modulated.

That's not the way it works, this is gut bacteria is serious business, and I don't mix business with pleasure.
