Hadza foragers in Tanzania and Tsimane in Bolivia share gut microbes that most city dwellers lack, per a Nature study from Oct 7. Whether losing them hurts us is still unknown. I'd rather say that than sell a probiotic fix.

Only 2% almonds? 🥛 That's what some almond milks really contain. Just published my latest video on the almond milk scam. I cover California's water crisis, the bee losses, and a creamy homemade version with just two ingredients. Have you checked your carton lately?

A gut microbe compound called imidazole propionate ran higher in people with signs of Alzheimer's, according to a UW study in Nature Communications. Association, not cause. Still worth asking what your gut is making. Link in reply.

Just published my full ginger bug soda tutorial! 🫙 Three flavours from one starter, and each bottle costs me about 10 to 12 cents. Store brands charge $4 a bottle and pasteurize away the live cultures. Have you ever brewed your own soda? Details in link.

Getting up from a chair without help might predict how long you live. A UB, led study of 5, 000+ women ages 63 to 99 found faster chair rises and stronger grips linked to lower death risk over eight years. Walking counts, but so does standing back up. 🪑 Link in reply.
