"Gosh, I wonder who's saying that breast milk is a panacea for human health?" ... "Oh look, it's Abbott, no chance they'd have a vested interest I'm sure it's going to revolutionize medicine!"pic.twitter.com/fcxE4550Ti
Also, if we're being technical here, the proposed supplement is a range of artificially-produced compounds derived from human-milk oligosaccharides it's not like people are going to be drinking from the teat
Also, love that it's all about pro/prebiotics because there's already tons of evidence that we have idiosyncratic gut microbiomes and any supplement like this is unlikely to be effective so that's nicepic.twitter.com/DcUunqbSew
The best analogy I've seen so far is that our gut is like a forest, complex and diverse, and probiotics are a single species that we are air-dropping in. Might be nice to have more hummingbirds, but it's not necessarily going to make the forest healthier
I reckon that'd be pretty effective I hear hummingbirds are tiny little bastards not a lot of meat there
