Claire Fraser - The Human Gut Microbiome in Health and Disease

[@normanspurgeon5324]

Please talk about glyphosate, and what we can do about it. This seems like the most conspicuous problem we all face trying to have a normal microbiome.

Very smart Lady, she can explain science base with public language. 💕

"Bad eating habits" would include... Refined carbohydrates: particularly sugar(s) and flour(s). Industrial seed oils of any kind, no matter how purportedly "heart healthy." If consumed as a significant portion of the diet over time, the aforementioned empty calorie non-foods will totally screw up your microbiome - major dysbiosis and autoimmunity: guaranteed.

[@MikeVV76]

All industrial oils corn canola soy etc etc, all chemical artificial sweeteners most of which destroy gut bacteria, all non GMO non organic produce glyphosate was patented as an antibiotic and even all the so called heart-healthy whole grains are saturated with it including that container of Quaker oats. Non organic non grass fed meats fed all the GMO feed, also heavy lectin containing foods which are mostly your grains and seeds.

Seed oils empty of calories? Do you mean empty of carbohydrates and protein ?

[@martinirving3824]

@@andrewheath5948 , Oh, you haven't heard the term "empty calories?" These are high calorie foods that contain little to no nutrients. In the past, through the 1980s, 90s into the 2000s, saturated fat was referred to as an "empty calorie" because fat is energy dense (9 calories per gram) and, as we know, was considered atherogenic (still no evidence despite looking very hard with biased studies). In addition to saturated fat, fats from grass fed animals can actually contain omega 3 fats which are essential nutrients. Fish and seafood is considered the richest but not exclusive source. The true "empty calories" come from industrial foods such as seed oils (corn, soy, cotton seed, canola, etc, whether hydrogenated or not) sugars, refined grains, etc. etc. The refined carbs have zero nutrition and the oils are energy dense. Most industrial foods are composed of a significant percentage of both. High calorie, low nutrition, hence empty calories.

I became pre-diabetic after a course of antibiotics to cure a long lasting sore throat and cough. Probably the 7th or 8th time I had taken antibiotics in my life. If only we knew how to restore the good microbes . . . I suppose a raw organic vegetable diet for a while followed by a Mediterranean diet wouldn't hurt.

METHOD OF PREPARATION Example 1 A reaction vessel provided with a stirring mechanism and a reflux condenser was charged with 750 parts by weight of 50% aqueous glycine, 750 parts by weight of 38% orthophosphorous acid, and 500 parts of 38% hydrochloric acid. While stirring the mixture continuously it was heated to C., then 1500 parts of aqueous formaldehyde solution were added gradually over a period of 30 minutes. The reflux condenser was removed and mixture concentrated to evaporate 25% of its volume over a two-hour period. The reaction product was identified as being: A reaction vessel provided with a stirring mechanism and a reflux condenser was charged with 169 parts by weight of amino diacetic acid hydrochloride, 82 parts of orthophosphorous acid, and 50 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid (38%). The mixture was heated to 100 C. and 200 parts of 37% aqueous formaldehyde were added gradually over a 30-minute period. The resulting solution was maintained at about 100 C. for one hour and 50 parts of p-formaldehyde were then added slowly over a 15 minute period. The resulting product was refluxed for an additional 2 hours. The product was then evaporated in a steam bath to about /3 of its volume and dissolved in hot ethanol. A product was precipitated by the addition of hydrochloric acld and was identified as N,N-diacetic acid aminomethylene phosphonic acid having the formula: Put that in ya cheerios and call me in the morning...

Yes, glyphosate alone MIGHT not cause issues. It's glyphosate combined with other chemicals that has been shown to cause issues. I love nih.gov, but they cherry pick, and don't give the entire story sometimes also. It is that deep.

After reading the link provided, it stated that the effects of the entire microbiome have not been studied. They only studied a specific enzyme within the microbiome. I'm sure someone has. I can't find the specific swedish study mentioned here again, but it raised cause for concern. Most studies are only of glyphosate specifically, and not the other compounds it's usually mixed with. scholar.google.com/scholar?q=swedish+study+of+glyphosate&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart#d=gs_qabs&u=%23p%3DML-q1911yo0J

[@dennisboyd1712]

WOW Great Video, Question what is the effect of Glyphosate on our gut microbiome

[@DukeGMOLOL]

None Dennis. I have already educated you on that.

[@thisearththeonlyheaven]

Apparently it has a known negative effect on bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms (shikimate pathway). It has been shown to affect the micro biomes of rats. It has been written off as not of concern for humans, but given how much we don't know/are finding out about our micro biome and health, some may think that is premature. Especially as billions of litres of this chemical is added to the environment each year apparently.

[@DukeGMOLOL]

To further clear up the difference between the microbiome and microbiota, think of the microbiome as a house, the furniture inside the house, the HVAC inside the house, the people inside the house, the pets inside the house, etc. Think of the microbiota as just the people, pets, and other living organisms inside the house. The microbiome consists of the microbiota AND all other environmental factors.

Beneficial Bacteria for President 2020 ! The symbiotic necessary relationship between the bacterial populations and our physiological processes needs to be respected, studied and cared for. May All be well :)

[@skilltreebusybee]

Well the biom adapts to environment Like ph or the types of chemical cascade , dite because from a ecological level that's the environment factors. Exercise raises endorphins yes but temperature and pressure the core surrounds the gut a contractions of the core and chest increases in blood flow. The mind blowing rethink part is R&K selection, is kinda backwards its the bacteria that's was effecting the host more so if the host has less frontal cortex to work with. So if exercise increases gray matter or white matter that means there's gut dominant strains that use neuro toxins to gain emotional/chemical control over the host and gut tandem that work with the brain system of course completely and quality K is preferable but understand function and context R is needed as well

[@willmpet]

Although I have developed several limitations, I have every intention of being extremely active (I do not need a walking stick at all when I walk each day)! And I have been fortunate enough to have few problems. I am bothered too by the depiction of older people. I was tremendously bothered by the infirmities obvious when I went to a 50th high school reunion, so many people were very limited. I had known of deaths in my group but I was surprised by the quantity of people who needed some type of support even to live their lives.

[@MarcoMeerman]

Think about the microbiome of people who eat the standard American diet with eggs, beef and cheese and low fiber. How bad that is for your microbione.

[@joeschmo5699]

I'm curious...If, before the most recent acknowledgement on the microbiota, scientists thought that the microbes were inert "dust particles" that inhabited humans, what did they think regarding other animals? For example, giraffe, gorilla, chimpanzee, panda, koala. Did they think the respective gut floras were just inert particles? If not, why have humans always been viewed as separate from other animals, even by scientists?

[@deborahfreedman333]

Even in the 1970's (when I studied microbiology) nobody thought that the intestinal flora was inert. Everyone knew that when the flora was wiped out, digestion was negatively altered, and a healthy flora could protect one from disease. What we didn't know was how diverse it is, because good gene sequencing tools didn't exist. (One no longer faces the waste of time, spending a whole night baby-sitting your poly-acrylamide gel, only to realize you have over cleaved with your EcoR1.) To study the flora, we would plate out a stool specimen on agar, and incubate it. Seldom would we even place the plate in a candle jar, to remove the oxygen. But the gut is not an oxygen rich environment, so many of the organisms didn't grow, as they are better suited to a micro-aerobic or anaeobic environment. . But just because we didn't realize just how diverse the flora is, doesn't mean we thought of it as inert. Even in the 60's people knew to eat yogurt when they took antibiotics. No decent scientist thinks of humans as being totally distinct from other animals. If they did, fields like comparative immunology would not exist, and science would not use animal models.

[@kathleenlynch1961]

[@khjewels]

Aren’t humans superior to animals? So our biology must be superior as well? It’s probably inert in all others but our microbes are special. Especially in white people who are the most superior? That’s what they teach in life here in America.

I’m calling complete and utter bullpucky on the conclusions drawn that a plant-based diet is all goodness and eating red meat with choline, cholesterol and l-carnitine is bad because the gut bacteria clostridium creates the byproduct trimethylamine which is converted to TMAO in the liver and that is supposed to be the smoking gun to CVD. Reductionistic nonsense. If this is true people who eat a lot of eggs or fish for that matter would have higher rates of CVD since they also cause a rise in TMAO for a brief period of time after eating. Never mind cholesterol and choline are in incredibly important in maintaining the structure of our cells and driving cellular metabolism. Lots of plants equals goodness. No doubt. But so does ethically raised animal meat that are fed their natural diets without hormones or antibiotics. Again, complete reductionistic nonsense.
