[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really interesting discussion and I highly recommend the Zoe Science and Nutrition podcast for more information. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/zoe-science-nutrition/id1611216298

Short answer, you can change your gut microbiome pretty quickly because the lifespan of a microbe is only 20 minutes and research has show that the microbiome does change quickly in response to diet.

That's interesting.  I really thought it would be more long term.
Another issue that no one has raised is the water.  I know water in the US is filled with really disturbing levels of hormone imitators -- both from plastics and from birth control pills and steroids.  I've never seen any study that compares US drinking water to European drinking water, but given the restrictions on plastics in Europe, I'd guess that it's lower over there.  Even if you're not drinking tap water, it goes into your pasta, rice, soup, tea, coffee, etc.[/quote]
