Eh, as a researcher at the periphery of the Human Microbiome Project and American Gut project this has been the accepted (and already shown, experimentally) conclusion for quite some time.
- wdewind 12y agoThis study examined two new things: 1. The speed at which the microbiome can change (<3 days) 2. The permanence of such changes (some of them are more permanent than others)
- aroch 12y agoThose aren't particularly new things to study. We have tons of murine data on the subject and quite a few PhD students over the last 4-6 years have done their PhDs on microbiota and diet with themselves as the guinea pig, so to speak (2-4 year longitudinals). There are a couple mouse papers out that don't directly address the issue in 2, but that permanence (or lack thereof) played prominent roles in their findings.
- wdewind 12y agoYeah, you know what, you're right. Did a bit more googling around and there's tons of stuff on both. Sorry!
