Pozdrav Ivane! Marina ovde, iz Novog Sada. Ja sam prevelu knjigu "Ishrana 80 10 10" na srpski jezik. Na ovoj sam ishrani od 2012. godine. Ako ukucaš "Biljna ishrana", naćićeš moj sajt. Javi mi se! :)

@Doug Graham Hi Doug! Thank you for shedding some light on this subject. I do have to admit the whole microbiome topic is confusing to me. 🥹 But I want to understand it correctly. First, the initial statement from this post is not mine, it is someone's else's - a random Youtuber who is not in the raw vegan world. It was interesting to me, so I wanted some feedback on it. Also, it did somewhat resonate with me, because the whole "eat over 40 different fruit and veggie varieties in a single week", as proposed by some "microbiome" enthusiasts, does not make sense to me. I hope this shows that the "Thus, we have to eat a wide range of different foods to keep all those different microbes fed and alive" conclusion is NOT mine. Pasteur's theory says that specific bacteria cause specific diseases. As far as I understand, bacteria do not cause diseases, nor they are so specific. The virus theory contradicts the exosome theory. Now, when you say "specific microbes digest specific substances", do you mean 1) "Specific microbes digest specific nutrients that can be found within different foods." 2) "Specific microbes digest specific foods." A concrete example: Personally, eating onion gives me a very specific type of pain I can literally recognise as my "onion pain". According to the microbiome experts, I should be eating onions in order to develop an "onion digesting microbiome colony" so that I can eat onions without any digestive symptoms. This is just one example, showing the overall idea of the microbiome theory that I am not in alignment with. I am here to learn and understand. 🙂

@Doug Graham Got it, thanks!
