The rich array of microbiota in our intestines can tell us more than you might think.
Eighteen vials were rocking back and forth on a squeaky mechanical device the shape of a butcher scale, and Mark Lyte was beside himself with excitement. ‘‘We actually got some fresh yesterday — freshly frozen,’’ Lyte said to a lab technician. Each vial contained a tiny nugget of monkey feces that were collected at the Harlow primate lab near Madison, Wis., the day before and shipped to Lyte’s lab on the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center campus in Abilene, Tex.
Lyte’s interest was not in the feces per se but in the hidden form of life they harbor. The digestive tube of a monkey, like that of all vertebrates, contains vast quantities of what biologists call gut microbiota. The genetic material of these trillions of microbes, as well as others living elsewhere in and on the body, is collectively known as the microbiome. Taken together, these bacteria can weigh as much as six pounds, and they make up a sort of organ whose functions have only begun to reveal themselves to science. Lyte has spent his career trying to prove that gut microbes communicate with the nervous system using some of the same neurochemicals that relay messages in the brain.
Inside a closet-size room at his lab that afternoon, Lyte hunched over to inspect the vials, whose samples had been spun down in a centrifuge to a radiant, golden broth.....

The filthy bacterial infection in the white house and DC has effected my mood in a profoundly negative way.
We all know the craving for certain foods we get, that's because once we've had
those foods our body is telling us there's something in there we're lacking.
If your digestive system is working properly the craving for certain foods
diminishes because you're receiving what you need.
Plenty of extreme examples with pregnant women on craving.
Explains my usual shit ugly mood when I read about Republicans
This explains why I sometimes hear voices commanding me to kill, maim, and eat more chocolate.
How come I always get a craving for ice cream or chocolate after eating lots of meat?
Nothing worse can happen the rest of the day!
I've never liked the NYT's politics, but they used to be able to use words correctly.
1. Having, showing, or requiring great insight or understanding: a profound thinker; a profound analysis.
2. Deeply felt or held; intense: profound contempt; a profound conviction.
3. Thoroughgoing; far-reaching: profound social changes.
4. Unqualified or unbroken: a profound silence; profound sleep.
5. Situated at, extending to, or coming from a great depth; deep: a profound chasm.

That's a proper use of the word.
Never seen the digestive system described as a tube before.
No, but the gases they produce seem to effect the mood of everyone near me.
You just think they’re not doing your thinking for you.
But then, that’s what they’d want you to think.
If the gut microbiome ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.
From whence comes the expression, 'A $hit-eating grin'...
bttt
I feel like s**t, /S
One can get various strengths and types of pro-biotic bacteria from health food stores — in capsule form.
“Gut bacteria” is supposed to increase immunity and overall health.
Well this explains the origin of the ancient expression often used when confronting a disagreeable or irrational person:
“You’re Full of S#@$!”
Because after all the hard work of chewing, you deserve a rest? lol
