Microbiome connection with PTSD & Alzheimer's + 5 things almost deadly as smoking - C C - Oct 30, 2017
Gut bacteria found to have a role in both PTSD and Alzheimer's disease

EXCERPT: One of the biggest new areas of medical research in the 21st century is the investigation into the holistic effect of the gut microbiome on the human body. We are rapidly discovering that the vast community of bacteria that live in our gut are actually playing roles in everything from Multiple Sclerosis to depression. Two new studies have now found connections between the gut microbiome and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Alzheimer's disease. [...] This is the first research to study a whole microbiome snapshot of patients with Alzheimer's disease. It follows on from some compelling research in 2016 that suggested gut bacteria plays a role in the accumulation of amyloid plaques, a buildup of proteins characteristic of a number of diseases including Alzheimer's, diabetes and Huntington's disease. The second new study is even more fascinating, zooming in on three particular types of bacteria present in the gut microbiome and relating it to the onset of PTSD....

EXCERPT: Cigarette smoking, one of the least healthy habits out there, is quickly disappearing in the United States. The rate of American adults who smoke has declined from 42 percent in 1965 to 15 percent in 2015. However, there are a number of risk factors taking its place, many of which stem from people's growing preference for sedentary, isolated lifestyles. As smoking makes its exit in the US, here are the risk factors science says to keep an eye on....

"Of course one of the big issues with understanding the role of gut bacteria in disease is trying to evaluate whether these microbiome differences actually contribute to the disease or are simply a consequence of the disease. It's a classic "what came first - the chicken or the egg?" conundrum, and it's one of the great fundamental questions underlying most microbiome research.

im guessing this could be the next big thing.
why ?
because hunger as a proces drives behaviour.
and.. the feelings of being hungry &/or full also control behaviour(or drive behaviour)
and... the links to these types of drives should give better understanding of addiction processess which result in drug addiction & food addiction
AND semi/qwasi OCD eating disorders.
scientifically.. trace elements extracted through digestion have massive impact on long term health.
45% of all women are iron deficient.
how is that effecting breeding quality ?
