Finally people (science types) are starting to talk about the whole gut biome.
For all my life it has been, you are low on iron, you must need more iron, eat supplements. Never even considering that there may be something eating the iron and keeping it from you.
Maybe by the end of my life they will stop destroying milk (pasteurizing and homogenizing.) Taking a perfect food and turning it into a body destroying, mucus creating deadly substance.
I never took iron supplements thank goodness and I try and eat foods that support acid and bile production. I do take b12 supplements because I know old people are deficienat....
I will be writing about gut bacteria, health, and epigenetics as my writing and research skills improve. This is my area of interest! Science is finally letting go of some of their old views and seeing a bigger picture regarding our digestive system is related to our soil system and the health of the world.
Epigenetics, me too. Bruce lipton?
Epigenetics is another type of genetic code that stores our experiences to pass on to the next generation...;-)

The B12 situation seem dire for vegans, but i suspect we absorb some of what we produce, mabye even enough for adults to sustain. It is notoriously hard to measure nutrient production in the GIT, even that of amino acids. EAA´s are no longer essential :)
@reddust Very nice post and the topics are the most interesting out there, I as well love epigenetics and nutrition and the combination is just perfect!
I wrote a little piece on arsenic and epigenetical changes, really interesting and there are so many new publications coming every day on the topic :))
It is very true that science is changing regarding nutrition and I am so glad to in the middle of it all. I hope nutrition will take the place of many medicins sooner then later :)
@builderofcastles exactly, iron deficiency might often be , a symptom, needed to be addressed on a deeper level of nutrition, then what adding iron pills to a diet contributes!
One little thing, the sperm/egg cells are modified, removing all epigenetic changes, making then not inheritable by default. Some traits seem to be passed on regardless of identical DNA sequence, giving birth to the missing heredity paradox, very interesting to see if science can crack this soon.
¨
Science have grouped the suspicions together in the field "Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance" If you are interested!
Peace & great work :)
I searched and couldn't find vaccine damaged gut bacteria, vitamin/nutrition malabsorption rates, and autism research...
There is a person(s) who is curing autism by a gut cleanse regime.
I want double blind studies with large groups of people, there are studies coming out of india soon...
