A few years ago BoingBoing had a link to an MIT study linking fun products like Monsanto's failed weed killing chemistry to human systems problems.
The scientists who worked on that report published in Entopy april 2014 took a lot of flack from big chemo.
Funny if they were so wrong you would think that a fearless monolithic behemoth like our friendly Monsanto would just reach out and find a middle ground to 'straighten the matter out"
That didn't happen.
The premise of the report was simple , certain widely used chemicals affect humans indirectly by attacking the healthy bacteria normally thriving in the human gut.
They do that slowly over a long period of time
We know that antibiotic use and abuse certainly does kill the good with the bad.
The best that big Pharma does is to try to sell it's victims a processed version of the basic spectrum of gut bacteria needed to be generally healthy,
Why not just give everyone 10 Kefir grains
Oh, that would solve the problem, but decrease profitability.
They missed rule number one
Don't piss off scientists , they just work harder.
