In my opinion, this is really important research. It will be interesting to see the results of studies in humans. I have my suspicions about what this research will show and what the reaction to it will be 😉
The truth about emulsifiers: are they destroying our gut health?
As scientific understanding of the gut microbiome has grown, emulsifiers have emerged as potential culprits in the modern western diet’s attack on gut health. 1/2

“…findings consistent with other research indicating that to achieve optimal tissue levels, higher doses of Vitamin D than 10 mcg/day are likely to be needed for many people, esp those at higher risk of deficiency such as individuals with darker skins and/or indoor lifestyles.”
A larger dose of vitamin D may decrease psychiatric symptoms at school age
Childhood anxiety, depression & related 'internalising' mental health problems were less common in children supplemented as infants with 3 times the standard dose of Vitamin D.

"Importantly, the researchers also found that it does not appear to matter which types of fish are eaten because the essential nutrients in the fish could be protective against the mercury content of the fish. The more important factor was whether the woman ate fish or not."
This new study provides detailed evidence that the benefits of eating fish in pregnancy far outweigh the possible risks. Researchers urge advisory bodies to STOP advising that certain types of fish be avoided because of their possible mercury content.

“We need to educate users to stop using nos when they first develop tingling and to immediately seek medical help. We also need to educate healthcare professionals to diagnose and treat nos-induced B12 deficiency. At the moment, this education is sorely lacking.”
Nitrous oxide (also known as nos, whippits, and laughing gas) use causes nerve damage because it inactivates vitamin B12. When vitamin B12 is lacking or when it becomes inactivated, the nerves malfunction and people become unsteady or paralysed.

I really wish that it was common knowledge that individuals need to be magnesium replete to be able to correct a vitamin D deficiency.
But sadly, it isn’t…
#Magnesium optimizes #VitaminD status, raising it in people with deficient levels and lowering it in people with high levels, according to latest research ow.ly/7BgW30n7LVh

GERD, or acid reflux, is a painful and common #ASD comorbidity. People with #autism and limited communication may express pain atypically, eg through aggression/self-injury. Some have been put on antipsychotics for behaviour that has later been found to have been caused by GERD.
Can a substantial reduction in the intake of simple #sugars significantly improve symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?

“This ability of gut bacteria to become more pathogenic is driven by a phenomenon referred to as "within-host evolution," which explains why individual bacterial species living in our intestines are able to adapt and evolve over the course of our lifetimes…”
How can #GutBacteria can evolve over time, become more pathogenic and drive chronic #inflammation and associated diseases such as #AutoimmuneDisorders, inflammatory bowel diseases, #MetabolicSyndrome, and #NeuropsychiatricDisorders?

“…iron deficiency can also happen when the body has enough iron, but can’t effectively transport it into cells. …in those with both acute and chronic infections, heart and autoimmune conditions, and cancers. In these cases, the underlying disease needs to be treated first…”
Low iron is a health risk made worse by COVID. How do we get more without reaching for supplements?
Typically only ~15–35% of consumed iron is absorbed. It also means iron availability can be improved or inhibited depending on how we eat it.
