  • gut microbiome research is going through the roof https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6682904/

    pretty much all the pesticides, preservatives, forever chemicals, etc we’ve been eating our whole life has been wrecking our gut microbiome and starting to kill us faster than the junk food itself

    not only that, but the smoke, smog, toxic industrial exhaust, etc. you breathe in, which gets caught in your nasal membranes, ends up draining down the back of your throat into your stomach and yep, messing up the gut microbiome

    it’s a fascinating rabbit hole that’s only recently begun to be cracked in any significant detail, but i’d advise against it if you’re prone to anxiety

    edit: were you by chance born by c-section? if so, then you started life at a disadvantage due to not being coated in (thus, swallowing) lactobacillus from mom’s birth canal. yea…gross af, but…science!
