Anecdotes =/= data

I love the fact that the CEO of that company is actually named Woo. Coincidence? I think not

Even if there is a correlation between obesity and biome diversity, you haven't shown any indication of causation. There may be lurking variables, or you may have the causal arrow reversed. This is Logic 101 stuff.

The fact that it's theoretically possible to catch worms from animals isn't remotely equivalent to your claim that "all kids had worms". Unless you're also claiming that all kids eat dog poop.

FTA But Anderson said the latest data suggest this mortality trend is heavily influenced by the ongoing drug epidemic and a rising rate of suicides nationwide Once again it becomes clear that you don't even bother reading the articles you post

Further evidence that you don't understand the peer review process at all

If you are not making claims, then why is this thread in the debate forum? You realize that this is a claim, right? As is this And this. And this. etc...

Pot, kettle, black. The burden of proof falls on the person making the claims (hint, that's you) Not only have your links failed to do so, but many of them have stated exactly what others have been stating. Namely that very little is known about the gut microbiome, and any claims regarding its causative effects are…

You have no way of determining the causal effects. But I suspect you know that already

Third time is the charm

Still trying to figure out what the topic of debate is, since the OP had presented no arguments, just posted random web links.

It can't.

Once again it's abundantly clear that you completely misunderstand (or disregard) the links you're posting

Changing the title of the piece, without clearly stating that you are doing so, is intellectually dishonest. But I suspect you know that

Except that both samples were taken at the same time. And I sent fecal samples to both places. I gave the services as close to duplicate samples as I could, swiping big cotton swabs over the same section of used toilet paper — per their instructions — within seconds of each other

You don't read the articles you post at all, do you? FTA I asked two different companies to analyze my gut microbiome. American Gut (left) gave nearly opposite results to those from uBiome (right) with respect to the major phyla of bacteria in a duplicate sample.

Your post history proves otherwise

So 0 then. Got it

What is the impact factor of lifeapps.io?

What part of Our understanding is in its infancy don't you understand?

You are either ignoring the bolded sentence, or you don't understand it. Because anyone who reads and understands the phrase "our understanding is in its infancy" wouldn't be flooding the forums with posts attributing everything to gut bacteria.
