A new study finds that children with autism have a different gut biome than children who don’t.
New Research Finds Children With Autism Have a Distinctive Gut Microbiome
The idea that bacteria in our lower tract influence us in such profound ways is very strange, but also very encouraging. If raises the possibility of relatively simple treatments.
I don’t know if this finding will hold up, but if it does, it might make sense of a question we’ve all asked over the years: why does there seem to be more autism nowadays?
It’s a dead certainty that modern life influences the bacteria in our gut. If that, in turn, affects autism …. Wow. What else?
I want someone to compare the microbiome of woke vs sane people. Maybe we can cure our country by requiring everyone to eat yogurt.
