Reply to comment by homeostasis3434 in A study on obese patients suggests the gut microbiome affects obesity levels. Microbial diversity decreased in obese subjects, and the reduction trend was correlated with the severity of obesity. by glawgii
The interesting part of this is targets to study - what happens if we wipe out some of these species from the biome, does the persons hunger drive change, do they lose weight?
These biome changes likely do occur based on diet change, but does another diet change revers these changes back down the line toward normal biome?
The biome changes appear to be a symptom, but are they also a contributor to future obesity - by changing the gut function or by changing behaviour?
