Listen. Anything is possible here. Never looked at it from this angle.

Do it might not be global warming but tectonic shift.

Lactobacillus is found in yogurt products and in a lot of probiotics

Yes it is sweet and it has sugar but it also has other health benefits compared to plain sugar.

You’re allowed a little bit sweetness in your food btw.

When it comes down to most of those things listed, CH2O (carbohydrates) need to break down into sugars which are used for energy. Since proteins have nitrogen that byproduct goes somewhere else. And fats have long CH chains and that goes somewhere else. Too much sugar gets stored as glycogen and somehow causes other problems like cholesterol issues and what not. Not sure of the mechanism.

I’m not sure where I’m going with this lesson tbh.

Mice, like people, have cravings and sweet teeth. It’s an animalistic behavior. But unlike most people, mice don’t have will power to control what they eat. Most human beings are capable of being the pilot of what they choose to eat regardless of their cravings.

I think we would much prefer not to be tested with cravings and temptations. So I the end, it’s always in our hands to not splurge on sweets. Just have to find that inner pilot to take control of the body.

I meant good groups. Like bread and grains as one category? Veggies? Fruits? Dairy? Meats?

Good groups in what regard?

I think we need to first find out which grouping of bacteria cause these cravings and how the mechanism works to cause cravings. It still feeds back to the certain parts of the brain.

You have to be careful with antibiotics. You kill the good with bad when taken too frequently. And antibiotics do not kill 100 percent of bacteria. The bacteria will come back again and more resistant to that antibiotic potentially.

The right approach, imo, is blocking the pathways to the brain that cause the cravings by eating something the creates a byproduct that does the opposite the bacterial products make even eating sweets and getting cravings.

Do we know which type or species of bacteria that are the culprits? The article didn’t get into that and I’m sure they is a lot to it than just bacteria. There is a signal left from the stomach that goes to the brain which tells the frontal lobe what it needs and wants. Perhaps the answer is in the bacterial by product or a signal protein from the bacteria that cause the cravings, but nobody really knows.

In the end it’s your choice to eat or not to eat when having cravings

I think self control and substitutes for bad sweet snacks works best for me. And if need to sweeten something I usually use honey.

But man, every so often I get those cravings for sweet tarts

Interesting read. I’m sure it’s not the only factor in humans but a good angle to start investigating further its cause and effect and relationship

And then the DEF will turn into HGI?
