Also, I am big into low sugar fermented foods lately. We make our own. So delicious.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
we are seeing more and more data that improving your gut microbiome is a great idea and low sugar fermented foods are the way. (Even more than fiber but that too)
I think everybody should be doing something to support their gut microbiome, whether or not it's the ingestion of low-sugar fermented foods daily or at least on a regular basis or ingestion of probiotic or prebiotic.
But low sugar fermented foods of the natto, kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, et cetera, all these things depending on which culture you're in, they come in different forms. Certain yogurts, et cetera, that allow the gut to be healthy.
so I highly recommend people have anywhere from 1 to four servings of low sugar fermented foods per day or try and enhance the health of their gut microb biome generally
In my opin I've tacked low sugar onto it because when people hear fermented food, they go, "Oh, yogurt. Yum." Cherry sugar flavored, you know? Right. There you go. Plain yogurt.
I strive to do it every day. You ate some before our talk today. I watched I did. I gulped down some scoops of kimchi. Have it with breakfast. Sometimes I I have found it has made me feel from a level digestion just sort of general feelings of like gut feeling nice and happy after a meal but also um and this is correlation this isn't causation of course but um just overall levels of energy and immune function. I mean I I haven't been sick in ages.
Things like sauerkraut, things like nattoo, if you can access that. Kimchi pickles again low sugar sources are going to be the sources that are going to be most effective for this.
