Reply to comment by szpaceSZ in How our microbiome is shaped by family, friends, and even neighbors. Study of the gut and mouth microbiomes of thousands of people from around the world raises the possibility that diseases linked to microbiome dysfunction, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity, could be partly transmissible. by MistWeaver80

My roommate was raised in a household of what I would call stocky individuals. I was raised in a household of, well, beanpoles.

Lo and behold, a few years later of me cooking and prepping every meal and roomie looks like he grew up around my family, not his.

Definitely eating habits, how much you eat, and the quality of what you eat….at least in my very limited experience.
