[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1044972, member: 221545"] I'm sure it's a factor..like so many other things. it's probably even a very big factor...like how many simple carbs we eat. I have no expertise in human biology sadly or in any kind of science which might inform me as to the evolution of and impact of such bacteria...but a couple of years in my first degree were in archaeology and it is pretty clear that our diet today is far more destructive than anything eaten by our hominid or or early homo sapiens ancestors. Their diet was determined by available sources (and so often very limited, resulting in specialized diet which might lead to extinction if climates changed dramatically), and the remains and evidence of our mesolitihic, hunter-gathering ancestors up to about 8,000BCE show way less indication of certain diseases and conditions common to modern man (with his ridiculously wide ranging available sources...called shops) ..so I am wondering...how has our environment and the changes in diet over millennia changed the way bacteria develops and thrives or doesn't in our weakened human systems...and I'm thinkin....carbohydrates...carbohydrates...carbohydrates...and not a whole lot of hunting or gathering going on. Ideas? Also, more importantly - is there any additional safe bacteria (edible kinda stuff like yakult etc) which may assist us? This still evolving homo sapiens sapiens would like to sort his gut out! [/QUOTE]
