Do you agree with the new research that suggests gut bacteria could be responsible for weight differences among those who eat healthy and exercise?

Question

I have been trying to figure out why some people like the Jews and the Asians are so skinny

And why other groups are mostly overweight

I have no idea why Jewish people are so skinny

But I believe Asians are skinny because they eat a diverse range of vegetables and spices and herbs and sea food and that the expansive diet Asians eat is good for their gut bacteria

I told an Egyptian from church that we consume a much bigger variety of foods than middle eastern communities since China has around 1/3 of the worlds population

Like have you noticed how less than 1% of East Asians seem to have allergies? I believe it’s due to the biodiversity of our gut bacteria

That does sound quite interesting... and it would totally make sense! This is something that should be more promoted and wider spread because it is a great idea!

makes sense. we basically are bacteria.
maybe that's why some couples get obese together? no doubt... food/activity play a role.

Im telling you from personal experience being an Asian person myself, I dont think its genetics, but I think its culture. For instance, I live in america, and the Asians in america will generally pack more muscle than an average person in asia. And its not genetics cause we're all the same race, its all about culture. So next time you gain weight, its not your genetics, its you. 😁😏

I'd have to look at that research and commentary on it before I can come up with my own conclusion

I got it from a Ted Talks and a few youtube Ads where doctors tried to advertise their products for promoting gut health - this led to me googling it a few times - probiotic and prebiotic promote healthy guts

I’ll definitely look into it. I have one Jewish patent and I’m skinny.
