I have an idea.
I think the types of foods we eat might be killing off the more helpful bacteria leaving the bad guys to "poison" us.
This would mean that things like fibromyalgia, type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, etc might just be the symptoms.
Just to be clear, I am not a hippy or vegan. Nor do I think processed foods are bad. I also know correlation does not equal causation. That being said. Here is why.
I remember watching something that said that researchers looked at the gut biome of people with type 2 diabetes and they found that a high percentage of these people had too much of one type of bacteria and not enough or none of another bacteria in their guts. Pretty much, they believe the waste from the bad bacteria could in so way be causing insulin resistance.
I can't find the study, but I did find (link deleted by moderator) I understand what this study is saying, but I don't have the background to know if what they are saying is correct or if the methodology is even sound.
I'd like to ask anyone willing to entertain my crack-pot theory to share a brief general history of your diet.
Daily as a child:
High starchy foods (mostly meat and potatoes) with a vegetable side (canned corn/peas/green beans), some sweets, and water/juice/Kool-Aid/milk
Daily as a young adult:
Same as child, but add Fast food, chips, a lot more sweets, and a lot of soda instead of water/juice/Kool-Aid/milk
Daily as adult:
mostly Fast food, chips, a lot of sweets, and a lot of soda/energy drinks
Daily now:
Same as child, but more vegetables and water/coffee(black)/zero sugar energy drink/zero sugar soda instead of juice/Kool-Aid/milk
