Without dismissing the empirical evidence and importancy of the study, these are not that surprising: after all the gut is very linked to eating, and from the start of the abstract it somewhat relates: you could imagine people who suffer from obesity or diabetes changed this 'collection of microbes' over time into this negative feedback loop that then alters a multitude of systems. For those who have not kept up on it, there are more obscure studies recently done:which found that the gut microbiota affect all sorts of things: from blood pressure to brain functions that can then degenerate into 'mild' things (depression for example) or more severe cases (symptoms akin to autism or even worse).Somehow on a second thought one could argue these all make sense, because these alter your hormonal balance, every disease can possible appear.And it's cliche but it's true: we are what we eat,if these microorganisms don't function properly, you're at a disadvantage.(It's also one of the reasons nutrition is so important when you talk about bodybuilding, or any other activity/goal that needs to be reached through having a proper hormonal balance) Even though it's not present here, I dislike the rhetoric that seems to portray such organisms as "scary" distinct parts from our bodies(especially when talked in the media).Without these microbes we would have a lot of problems adapting to our environment, if one could even exist without them.
