Dammit. They almost had me reposting this “phenomenal discovery.” Thanks for the heads up. I’ll walk away now.
Here’s where we never see the cure, due to profits.
If you look at the paper they promoted the beneficial bacteria by feeding two specific prebiotics. Both of those compounds occur in reasonably high concentrations in carrots.
So you could try the unapproved treatment yourself eating carrots regularly.
big pharma wants to know your location
I remember early in my childhood I had some neighbors who were health nuts and they always offered me a snack carrot, then I decided carrots were really healthy and remember at least a few times eating too many carrots and I got a peculiar nauseous stomach wooziness I call “the carrot feeling.”
I semi recently got back into carrots as a hummus dipper. And then quickly learned that the ‘little’ bag of baby carrots I had been using were 1lb and the uhh… Consequences for that consumption were both rather fast and highly unenjoyable.
Yes the nausea is very real! Also people who eat too many carrots and other orange things with a lot of beta-carotene such as pumpkins, their skin actually begins to take on an orange hue.
That happened to my little brothers in their toddler years. They were fed a rather impressive amount of gourd similar to pumpkin that was well known as nutritious baby food in the area we were living at the time. I’ll never forget my mom turning to me one random day and asking “Are they looking a bit more… Orange? than usual??” It was quickly sorted out as to why they had become little chubby pumpkins, but that moment was quite priceless.
Yes! Puréed sweet potatoes is another popular one to give to babies, I have seen babies turn orange from that too.
I get a similar feeling sometimes when I have a bunch of cashews and almonds.
Ive had that happen too
That’s good to know, with all the carrots I eat daily finally having some beneficial evidence.
So does it work? Is limiting calorie intake easy for you when you have daily carrots?
It actually does, but eating carrots so often has my stomach displeased with stuff like pizza these days.
limiting calorie intake is very easy if you only eat carrots, at least
Here’s where we never see the cure, due to profits.
Actually, in this case it’s due to laziness and ignorance of the populace:
Common folk will likely never have access to a magic bacteria that prevents you from getting fat with zero effort
I have been suffering with heartburn for decades. I heard probiotics can help, so I picked up a bottle from Trader Joe’s. Next day I took one, and no heartburn. I take one every day now for about 2 months and I haven’t had heartburn at all.
There’s something to this gut bacteria stuff.
There’s a lot to it and I can’t wait for us to learn more.
Apparently scientists and nutritionists already have it figured out, now it’s on all us common folks to learn about it and incorporate it into our own lives.
Probiotics and prebiotics. Learn it. Live it. Do it.
Easiest way is to stop eating junk. Start eating food like people did in the old days when all we had were gardens and farms.
While that’s true I’m still waiting for more evidence in the implications of mental health and more advanced treatments.
i don’t see how it would end up being bad, if it’s good for your stomach it kind of automatically is good for your mental health since the gut is rather important.
PUT IT IN MY ASS
You did read it’s about carrots right?
brb :D
It’s interesting to see how big influence gut bacteria have. There was also a study that shower gut bacteria plays a role regarding ADHD
https://www.henryford.com/blog/2022/05/adhd-gut-microbiome-link
Any reporting about a study that conveniently forgets to mention the number of people that took part in the study is immediately suspicious
From the supplemental materials from the linked study found in the article, n=28
I was replying to the person who posted the Henry Ford-article about gut bacteria and ADHD. Thanks for adding this information, though, people might need it for the original article as well.
Found more details on the ADHD study.
I just recalled there was a study about it, and linked to the first hit on Google, so I hadn’t read that particular link. But I do agree with your assessment
Operation: make friends with a healthy happy thin person.
Objective: obtain thier poop
i mean yeah that’s an actual thing you can do
Yeah I know.
I was actually trying to allude to this. Before my mother passed, she suffered for years from chronic diahreah. She had contracted CDIF during a hospital stay and it affected her for most of the rest of her life. I believe that her repeated use of strong antibiotics destroyed her gut biome and I long tried to convince her to be open to the idea.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t get past the gross out factor.
Very few doctors are willing to discuss it, and even fewer willing to try.
I do find the field of study to be extremely interesting, especially when you factor in that there has been some clinical data to indicate that autistic children seem to have some improvement after a successful transplant. As a person on the spectrum myself, who is overweight, and deals with generalized anxiety disorder, I sometimes wonder if it’s something that I should look into for myself.
Interesting stuff!
Do I have to be happy and thin or will just thin suffice?
I’m selling my poop.
Well, for my dollar happy and thin.
Please do this in humans. Please actually work.
Incredible stuff I hope we continue to work on cracking this nut. It feels like we’ve made rapid progress ever since I heard about how half of our serotonin is made in our gut.
I somewhat recently found out that a huge portion of the chronic pain that I have experienced for years was due to food intolerances.
I almost bankrupted myself trying to get out of pain because of the USA’s awful healthcare system. I even asked a Rheumatologist directly about trying a change of diet, and he just stared at me blankly as though suggesting such a thing was equivalent to asking about blood letting.
Somehow gut health was just not taught in med school in the USA when that particular doctor was educated. We’re making rapid progress because there was previously a huge lack of knowledge.
The good news is: we’re just getting started on finding causes and solutions to a lot of health problems that start in the gut.
equivalent to asking about blood letting
Nothing to do with your case but just as a fun fact: bloodletting is the top tier therapy for hemochromatosis
Also yeah, we pretty much don’t know anything about our own microbiome
Interesting! Are you sure that isn’t just Dr. Acula at his normal hijinx again?
Very certain, it’s actually spearheaded by sir Alin Ungureanu, the famous cardiologist.
He’s generally credited as Al U, Card.

I think a big reason most diets fail for people is because they make changes that are too big and too sudden.
I think people need to try making smaller changes that they can actually commit to, rather than starve themselves until they give up because they hate life and go back to eating like shit, just to do it all over again in a year or two.
Not just diet, exercise and lifestyle too.
“I’m going to get 2 hours less sleep, run 5k and cut out all sugars, carbs and fats, stop drinking and going out for dinner and…”
Small changes in one area at a time.
