Grip Strength: Gut bacterium matter more than you think.
#1
I was kind of surprised at the title of the article I'm pointing to...

The Gut Bacterium That Builds Your Muscles
Quote:...
Researchers in the Netherlands and Spain have identified a specific species of gut bacterium, Roseburia inulinivorans, that correlates with muscle strength in both young and older adults, and that demonstrably increases grip strength in mice when administered orally. Not exercise. Not protein supplements. A microbe. The same kind of thing your digestive tract uses to ferment dietary fibre.
 
The gut microbiome has been implicated in a remarkable range of health conditions over the past decade or so, from metabolic disease to neurodegeneration to cardiovascular risk to mood disorders, and there has been growing interest in whether it might influence muscle mass and function too. What’s been missing is specificity. The general claim that gut bacteria matter for muscle health is not quite the same as naming the species responsible, describing what it does mechanically, and showing a causal effect in a controlled experiment. This study attempts all three.
...

Interesting or not?

Because correlation can only imply causation... I'm wondering how this idea is to be applied.

Yeah, been studying a lot about how certain beneficial microbes contribute to positive effects on the mind and body.  There is a lot too this.  some people have genetics or epigenetic factors or immune responses that make certain microbes not accepted in their gut and on their skin.  But they can live with other microbes symbiotically that others cannot live well with.  Some people can live with bacteria and thrive that others can have severe illness from and some of these people actually work in hospitals and are healthy, yet they can pass microbes to patients that could cause them great harm.

That is the way it is....there is even a relationship to people not getting along with others because of the way they smell, evidently the microbes give off smells of body order other people do not feel at home with so they avoid them.

Now, we have created a crazy situation, these symbiotic bacteria cannot survive in people's guts because there are antimicrobials all over the food supply and these microbes often get replenished by foods grown in places, yet pesticides with antimicrobial action are sprayed on these fields, so the microbes are not present on the foods.

We evolved on this earth with all of the microbes, some are good for us, others are bad for us.  So they try to kill them all....by poisoning the foods so they cannot be there to help us.

Then they try to make probiotics......but it is hard to get the actual ones we need, the ones we are symbiotic with so they can help us control those that we are intolerant to.  I have tried those colon cleanses twice, I wound up feeling bad when I took the microbes they came with.  everyone's microbe combinations are different to be healthy.  At our coop, I asked about this and the girl said they are aware of it, and that they have many combinations available to try to fit different people, so twenty bucks a bottle, only to find that it the last bottle and four hundred bucks later that you get the right combination of microbes....I am kind of skeptical about doing that.  Some of the yogurts with live cultures...I am not tollerant to.  But I can eat the cheap ones with no cultures in them usually......I hate when they start warring in my gut. 

I don't know what kind of crazy people we put in regulating the food supply in the past, but I do see it is directly related to skyrocketing health costs.  I had hopes that this new head of the FDA would help to fix things, but I do not think they have researched this stuff enough and evaluated the mess that has been created yet, it is overwhelming....and where do they even start.  There has been so much misinformation created and accepted by these health services that they cannot even comprehend where to start fixing the issues....deceptions have been accepted fifty years ago and those deceptions have created new rules and regulations and are the forerunner of a lot of our problems.  Some chemistries and research was voided, but that research stimulated a lot of other practices that should be reversed too.

I don't even know where to start fixing it....and a lot of the people now in charge of regulating this cannot even comprehend the problem is so diverse.

People pushing bacteria are bad will not change their tune because they were taught they were bad, and they cannot admit they were wrong in what they were telling others...it would ruin their reputation and admitting it could make them liable in court.

So face it, this problem cannot be easily fixed.....we screwed up bad listening to companies making chemicals to spray on everything and also when I was young...my dad and I went to the dump to shoot rats when the city saw they were multiplying my uncle would ask us to go there, and this has nothing to do with rats other than when we were doing this, there was hardly any plastic in the dumps back in the early sixties.  I had a bb gun my dad had a twenty two with bird shot in it.....some black plastic and some plastic wrap, and not much tupperware stuff....now the stuff in the dumps is half plastic....

I think we naturally evolved to synthesize our nutrition from our environment.

We seem to have changed not only our environment around us but in us.

Mass-produced, industrially-processed, 'economically' efficient 'acceptable' food products are the nutrition of a large percentage of our population.

Some might register a debilitation of the population...
or convince themselves that we are 'afflicted' forever.

It begins by being aware.

We are not just machine components to spot check and tune...
there is a harmony to each of our bodies only we can really address.

McFood-mo-tron food doesn't cut it.  Nor do foods offered in most 'convenient plastic-wrapped' formats.
I remember my grandmother's food... I should weep for the loss...

here is another article on gut bacteria helping to treat IBS and other gut issues.  Again, lots of anti-microbials are in our food supply to increase shelf life and killing bacteria is one of the ways to increase shelf life...then we eat it and the antimicrobials effect our gut floura.
