So, I wasn't surprised to learn Proteobacteria didn't increase with prebiotic intervention. However, this was troubling: "The most upregulated pathway with the addition of RS to the habitual diet was lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis (Fig. 2)." <br /><br />These kids were not in "heaven" from the additional donut diet as you suggest. And it's not a simple matter of wheat and omega-6 fats. The prebiotic upregulated inflammatory LPS, likely in the small intestine. This also explains why RS2 can cause problems in people who already suffer gram-negative LPS-producers in SIBO. <br /><br />By the way, have you ever tried or research rice bran? Really interesting stuff.

That should wipe out all of the gut bacteria responsible for triggering development of the immune system. Wiping out C. diff - like bacteria is a very bad thing. Wiping out inflammation is also very bad. Look at the side effects of TNF-targeted antibodies. Ebselen looks like a great drug for medical emergencies and terrible for healthy people. Daily drug use is always a health compromise and BTW, is the actual cause of superbugs, the target of Ebselen. Thus, broad use of drugs/antibiotics like Ebselen, should contribute to the superbug, multi-antibiotic resistance problem.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-24369682680678716142015-10-03T08:25:14.758-08:002015-10-03T08:25:14.758-08:00Time will tell!

Several ebselen analogues have been shown to scavenge hydrogen peroxide in the presence of thiols.[8]Tim Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611027687223434753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-54998591325728038052015-10-03T08:19:59.547-08:002015-10-03T08:19:59.547-08:00What?

A junk food meal itself is probably OK as long as the other food you've eaten that day is vegetable-rich and gut friendly. It's the non-stop eating of this stuff several times a day that's really bad. <br /><br />And, too, even at fast-food places, there's a gradient of food choices. Chicken Nuggets and other wheat-breaded, deep-fried foods being the worst. But rest-assured all food in a fast-food joint is somehow "engineered" to make us want more. Probably even the smells and decor of a fast-food restaurant all designed with sales in mind.<br /><br />I like this from the link: <br /><br />"We are unlikely to stop people eating fast food, but the devastating effects on our microbes and our long term health could possibly be mitigated if we also eat foods which our microbes love like probiotics (yogurts), root vegetables, nuts, olives and high-fibre foods. What they seem to crave, above all else, is food diversity and a slice of gherkin in the burger just isn’t enough."Tim Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611027687223434753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-11184972255505529622015-10-02T22:54:26.809-08:002015-10-02T22:54:26.809-08:00Another good experiment on how to destroy our flat...Another good experiment on how to destroy our flat mates:<br /><br />http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/your-gut-bacteria-don-t-junk-food-even-if-you-do<br /><br />Jo tBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-68945869955397979972015-10-02T22:43:05.705-08:002015-10-02T22:43:05.705-08:00Tim, this infograph puts all your your good advice...Tim, this infograph puts all your your good advice in a nutshell!<br /><br />http://www.pcrm.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/health/food-and-gut-bacteria-infographic.pdf<br /><br />Jo tBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-80757288138545127692015-10-02T22:09:10.851-08:002015-10-02T22:09:10.851-08:00Should we be thrilled about this?

But the Canadian Tire store sells, ahem, American crappy potting soil.... but I digress. Usually I shop at the Chinese supermarket or the Korean. Or even the Italian. Lots and lots of all sort of vegetables for sale and all sorts of fruit. Walmart? Clearly a tokenism of fresh fruit and veg compared to the huge huge HUGE amounts of crap in a bag lining aisle after aisle. Huge display of bananas for 57 cents a pound. Greenish tomatoes. <br /><br />The Chinese supermarkets have probably over 200 fresh items. At least. <br /><br />So if Walmart if typical of what American shoppers are seeing, then yeah, can well believe that Americans just don't have sufficient fresh veg and fruit available and not much variety.Gabriella Kadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294468426599703416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-20114889844109475362015-09-29T18:05:38.626-08:002015-09-29T18:05:38.626-08:00Yaelle, you can put the blueberries in one of the ...Yaelle, you can put the blueberries in one of the dryer things.
