@DrSeanOMara Wrong. A meta-analysis of Lactobacillus bacteria—the strains commonly found in fermented foods—shows that they are more often elevated in diseased cohorts than in healthy controls across a wide range of conditions.
@ThorTorrens Nicotine bitartrate: salt form of nicotine, typically made by combining nicotine with tartaric acid. Tartaric acid occurs naturally in grapes, tamarinds, and some other fruits.
@Tu_Quoque_4_U@ThorTorrens Lol nah that's just something you tell yourself as a form of confirmation bias. Nicotine is metabolized quickly because liver enzymes, especially CYP2A6, efficiently convert it into cotinine, which the body can eliminate more easily.
@HansAmato Kestose is not the most "slept on" prebiotic 😆. The literature on kestose is just noticeably smaller than the literature on established prebiotics such as inulin, pectin, resistant starch, etc
@JungianPeater Yep. The butyrate produced by the butyrate-producing bacteria provides up to 80% of the fuel for the colonocytes in healthy controls. Across a wide range of conditions, diseased cohorts consistently show a depletion of these bacteria compared to healthy controls.
@JungianPeater No you're a dumbass. The beneficial bacteria produce butyrate, and this butyrate is 80% of the fuel for colonocytes in healthy populations. These butyrate-producing bacteria lower endotoxin by fueling the gut lining and controlling the pH to regulate bad bacteria
