My understanding is that yes environment makes a huge difference in your biome, however there may be strains of bacteria, for example, that you would only get from your mother. Maybe something she picked up playing in the dirt in a different country, or maybe something from her mother.
Whether it makes a difference really depends on the individual. Personally I think it's better to get the gut bacteria that you can from your mother near the time of birth, but that's me.
- refurb 7y agoIf you were to test the microbiome of a family, you’d find they are very similar. Humans living in close quarters exchange biomes readily (oral - fecal transmission). I’m certainly not arguing there is no impact of the microbiome on disease, but right now the data is far to early to say anything conclusively.
