Good info, I posted another study about a year ago or the differences between African guts and euro gut bacteria, but this is even better.
Our modern western gut bacteria is perhaps not ideal.
Also many docs might be misled when looking at modern western gut bacteria, I don't believe
our gut bacteria is the norm for a human.

"Crittenden and her research partners warn against turning their research into a diet, even if the link between the Hadza’s gut microbiome and their lower rates of gastrointetinal illness prove true."

No problem. I'll not only adopt the diet but go live with them as well.

haha i literally just signed on here to post this article! i thought it was fascinating about that treponema bacteria strain that's common in crohn's disease here but yet the tribal members have zero incidences of the disease.
