which for many is not the case for a variety of social economic or behavioral reasons. Add in with explosions of bacterial populations due to alcohol or sugar and you can see how we can change our gut biome drastically from week to week.
Observing that if you eat/drink something specific then you get the shits is valid. Concluding that it is due to a specific mechanism is not valid unless you have something objective like a test supporting that.
It’s like if your train is late and you just conclude that it must be because the steam condenser’s gasket is leaking based on nothing. Maybe true, or maybe the conductor broke his leg, or there is a signaling failure.
Why do you need to know what the mechanism is to avoid mistakes? - if something fucks you, don’t do it.
Encourage others to do the same.
Not a controversial take!
“But what if it’s a big hoax and we create solid stools for nothing?”
This demand for peer-reviewed evidence in place of observation of known and basic mechanisms is out of control.
where you’d have to reply to “well-understood and basic mechanisms” being ignored.
Including the ones we know inhibit a healthy diverse microbiome!
Sticking with your chosen example:
If you lean an anvil on your foot, and start suffering from poor circulation or discoloration of the foot, remove the anvil.
Also, this bit is a non-factual read (don’t put words in my mouth, mate, I choose them carefully).
An uncharitable, bad-faith interpretation at best.
