       | Without dismissing the empirical evidence and importancy of the
       | study, these are not that surprising: after all the gut is very
       | linked to eating, and from the start of the abstract it somewhat
       | relates: you could imagine people who suffer from obesity or
       | diabetes changed this 'collection of microbes' over time into
       | this negative feedback loop that then alters a multitude of
       | systems. For those who have not kept up on it, there are more
       | obscure studies recently done:which found that the gut microbiota
       | affect all sorts of things: from blood pressure to brain
       | functions that can then degenerate into 'mild' things (depression
       | for example) or more severe cases (symptoms akin to autism or
       | even worse).Somehow on a second thought one could argue these all
       | make sense, because these alter your hormonal balance, every
       | disease can possible appear.And it's cliche but it's true: we are
       | what we eat,if these microorganisms don't function properly,
       | you're at a disadvantage.(It's also one of the reasons nutrition
       | is so important when you talk about bodybuilding, or any other
       | activity/goal that needs to be reached through having a proper
       | hormonal balance)

       | Even though it's not present here, I dislike the rhetoric that
       | seems to portray such organisms as "scary" distinct parts from
       | our bodies(especially when talked in the media).Without these
       | microbes we would have a lot of problems adapting to our
       | environment, if one could even exist without them.
