now the numbers of logarithms about equal in number to the number of cells of the body we're talking trillions and you have perhaps tenfold more bacterial genes than you do your own genes in your body

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're actually by cell number, we actually have 10 times more bacterial cells associated with our body than human cells. We even have a hundred times more bacterial genes associated with our collective genome than human genes. So both by cell number and by gene number we're actually more microbial than we are human.
