Scientific research continues to uncover interesting connections between the gut microbiome and human health, including everything from depression to PTSD to autoimmune disease. Another example of this are emerging ties between gut health and autism. Exciting new research, now moving to Phase 3…
rule of thumb. an interesting result from years ago that wasn’t replicated is probably bs
I kinda figured as much given the subject of the paper and the location of the research but I thought I would give it a read anyways. I believe there is a lot to unlock in the gut-brain relationship but this just seems like junk.
I worked in science, and in this case, this is looks disingenuous and manipulative.
But sometimes there are honest “mistakes” (just a result of using P values). Sometimes I find a very interesting result that has the potential to change a lot of things, but it fails to be replicated.
Usually they are forgotten. and then there’s the whole Alpha male bullshit we’re still dealing with.
