It’s not the internet’s fault that your “wellness friends” are complete fuckking morons. Anyone who thought liver king wasn’t taking all the steroids at stupid levels it just plain dumb.
Lucky Charms is healthier than steak.

Always blame the people who fell for it instead of those who create these dumbass trends.
It's all about personal responsibility - except for those who actually spread the misinformation.
Gut health is bullshit except for a very very tiny tiny percentage of people. People that take and people that preach gut health are equally stupid.no, very serious.
Citizen-science reveals changes in the oral microbiome in Spain through age and lifestyle factors - npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
The relevance of the human oral microbiome to our understanding of human health has grown in recent years as microbiome studies continue to develop. Given the links of the oral cavity with the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems, the composition of the oral microbiome is relevant...www.nature.com

The hunt for a healthy microbiome
Despite evidence of the gut microbiome’s role in human health, researchers are still working out what shapes the community of microbes.
Like Genes, Our Microbes Pass from Parent to Child
Modern assaults on the human microbiome may deprive some infants of coevolved microorganisms that shape their immune systems as well as lead to other developmental problemswww.scientificamerican.com
Also....I love how we subsidize all the unhealthy sh!t that's in our food and then sit around wondering why we're so fat.
Fun fact. No one has ever defined what gut health is because there's no way to test for it, there's no way to validate it....there's no range or normal range. How do we test and what are the metrics of interpretation. There aren't even any defined complications of "gut health" aside of known medical disorders like celiac disease or IBS. To pretend otherwise is silly.
Exercises in science and academia are worthwhile but to take a few papers and then try and define a medical condition is the work of charlatans.
Always be wary of these vague nebulous things. More often than not these are the triggers of symptoms in physiologically normal people.
You really shouldn't talk so confidently about something that you seem to admit you don't know much about.
How fortuitous.

An Aggressive New Approach to Childhood Obesity
What’s behind updated guidelines for treating the condition?
Get government out of the healthcare business and force fat people to pay for their own healthcare.
file under "you don't know what you don't know". There's tons of published work on this topic.
And I'm sure you're well aware that livestock farmers routinely give antibiotics to their herds to induce weight gain. One of the hypotheses is that this disrupts native microbiome assemblages which increases weight gain (although not lean mass).
Published work doesn't equal successful interventions.
Why are the symptoms of bad gut health?
How is it defined?
How do you test for it?
Most importantly...how can two people with identical test results have different presentations?
When retested to verify why do the results change?
Are you being facetious?
If you're like me, and I think a lot of you must be or you wouldn't be on the erBB, count yourself lucky to have found (most ikely in your youth) an activity, surfing, that requires you to be and helps keep you fit and healthy. When I see a fat person I always think, "I would do whatever I could to remediate that situation." But that's me. I have a friend who's struggled with her weight her whole life. I recently saw her and it looks like she just gave up. I almost don't blame her. I know how hard she's struggled for at least the 30 years I've known her and now at 60+ years old she probably just said, "Fuk it."
I'm a "health nut" to some extent and do not agree 100% with "body positivity," The risks should not be ignored. But I try not to judge people or have any hostility towards them because of their weight. Instead, I sense some of you are disgusted by and hostile towards fat people who are just trying to live their lives.
You forgot to post the argument (that doesn’t exist, at least not from HAES).
You should do some reading before regurgitating the results of a google search. Or perhaps you’re unclear about the meaning of ‘argument’ and/or ‘slogan’. In any case, you should read what they say at the HAES site, it’s enlightening.
We have all these PSAs shaming smoking, nothing about obesity.
