"Mice don't smoke or drink alcohol

Wow! News to me!!! ;)

Yeah gut flora is important. This is why I do yeast cleanses and take an excellent probiotic. Really helps with many things. Something tells me the general obese person though is not caring for oneself in such away that they take probiotics and stay away from high glucose sugar long enough to do a yeast cleanse.

There’s a lot of research being done on gut flora that is leading to some very interesting data. Including some stuff done on insulin regulation and diabetes.

The more you eat, the harder the liver has to work. Smoking or drinking in concert with it only makes it that much worse. You’re talking about liver cancer, however, not liver failure. Although I am no food Nazi, there is a definite danger from obesity however you look at it. A co-worker of mine, who I sometimes said half-jokingly was a time-bomb, spent his last days in and out of consciousness while his liver failed.

Interesting, we drink homemade kefir with our raw goats milk and in the last couple of months also started brewing kombucha. Maybe we have all our microbe bases covered.

Gut bugs?
I understand how to gut a fish, but how does one gut a bug?

No apparent link to humans?

Never met an obese person that had any kind of cancer, so this rings dissonant. Bad knees, bad feet, bad hips, sore backs, but cannot recall a single obese person with cancer.
