Metabolic profiling reveals a contribution of gut microbiota to fatty liver phenotype in insulin-resistant mice
Another mouse study…this one finds that a high fat diet was converted by the bacteria in the gut in such a way as to increase the risk of liver damage and increase insulin resistance. So how does this impact our GI tract when we are bombarded with nonessential antibiotics and the bacterial types that we have spent several hundred thousand years gettting acquainted with are not replaced?
The buzzword around antibiotic overuse is always antibiotic resistance, and this is, in reality, only a very small measure of the damage antibiotic overuse does to our physiology and risk of chronic diseases.
