Glad we finally know now that babies need nutrition.
- rswail 1y agowhich part of "not only" and "but thrive" weren't relevant to his point? We've always known that babies need nutrition, but knowledge of the role of the gut microbiome, how to develop it and ensure it is healthy is relatively new.
- kcatskcolbdi 1y agoWe have known well before the gates foundation descended their giant pile of gold coin that nutrition was required for children to thrive.
- rswail 1y agoAgain, you missed the point about the knowledge about the function of the gut biome in maintaining health.
- kcatskcolbdi 1y agoOh, the gut biome! Dang, I thought it was magic spirits that caused the benefit of nutrition. Thanks Mr Gates for explaining to everyone that it was the gut's micro biome!
- rswail 1y agoOK, now you're being deliberately obtuse. The impact of the type and capacity of the gut biome is relatively new research. The impact of having caeserian delivery on an infant's initial gut biome is relatively new knowledge, which is leading to changes in healthcare delivery for child health. Maintaining good gut biome health is also still being researched, as well as what actually is a good gut biome. Whether it is dependent on different locations, or diets and what are the side effects. This is not just "good food is good for you" research that the Gates Foundation is funding. It's fundamental basic research that pharma development is not focused on delivering that will lead to better health worldwide.
- kcatskcolbdi 1y agoFascinating that in this you don't source a single bit of the incredible research around microbiomes the Gates Foundation is conducting.
