> This has gotten me wondering: how many people might be sick as a consequence of their poor diet? It's probably a good idea to carefully scrutinize your diet as a potential influencing factor if you have a medical condition. If we separate microbiome from diet a little here, then it's quite easy to say that many people are sick because of their poor diet. Heart disease and cancer are by a large margin the largest killers of people in the United States, both of which have obesity as a major factor. Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, and a host of other diseases also result from poor diets. I'm practically certain it's one of the primary causes of premature death.
