I am in agreement about the microbiome and it's importance but I found the good gut to be a terrible book full of wild speculation and little facts to back them

I am in agreement about the microbiome and it's importance but I found the good gut to be a terrible book full of wild speculation and little facts to back them up. Many sections started with a few thin facts then the authors made jumps that didn't exactly connect to those facts in order to speculate as if that was a fact. I hope there is a better book out there on this topic or one coming soon.

Interesting. Do you have any specific examples you can remember? I read the book from the perspective that it wasn't verbatim research results, but example based results from their research. I found the connections between the test and result generally existed, although I would say the book got a bit muddy on reuse of a few key topic areas. It's definitely a dry book - it took me a while to get through as it didn't always hold my interest. That being said I agree that I hope there's more to come.
