Well, I read the intro, results, and methods prior to making my comment. Have you read the limitations? 1. & 2. Great. I agree. How does this research address those needs? 3. No, they didn’t. They took germ free mice without a gut microbiome and added probiotics with vs. without colonies of the supplemental bacteria. In my opinion, this bludgeons away translational value. They did no compositional analysis either via RNA seq, likely due to a lack of funding. 4. The authors can say lots about what their study could mean. Authors say lots of things all of the time. I, and anecdotally many others, put very little into author over-interpretation of data. The data can speak for themselves. Frankly I’m not sure how my critique of this research is bad faith. Lame? Maybe, I’m not to judge that. But I appreciate the discussion.
