I&#x27;m really surprised at how hard you are pushing this gut bacteria idea.  As I said elsewhere, we&#x27;ve barely scratched the surface of how our bodies are affected by changes in our gut bacteria, and you seem immediately on board with changing it completely in order to help lose weight.  As I, and others, have said, there is a simpler solution, one that applies positively to all aspects of health and happiness in life: self-control.  But you seem bent on the idea that 2&#x2F;3rds of adults considered overweight or obese have &quot;abnormal gut bacteria&quot; and the best solution for them is to completely rewrite it, consequences be damned.  No point continuing this argument.
