Re: must read about gut flora

Over-sanitation is crucial in places where there's a large cluster of people; cities for example. If just one people in that community is infected, the chances of spreading are much higher; and it's an environment that favours mutations of those infections due to its rapid propagation in hosts.

Let's give them lots of refined sugar as a controlled study... I'm honestly curious what would happen!

I'm not sure if the reduce gut flora diversity has anything to do with that. Some claim that a healthy and high count flora is influenced by diet, in particular that a consistent diet with the same kinds of foods is good for it, and the contrary for diverse meals. I think modern lifestyle would fall into the diverse meals category, as people love to try out different restaurants or to eat "varied".

The article points over-sanitation as one of the causes of modern GI problems. And maybe it is, but what we refer as dirt nowadays is much different than before. I much rather the over-sanitation to exposure to modern city dirts.
Both extremes create less diversity in the gut. One for not supplying enough and the other for not being able to thrive.
