It seems that microbiome research is always defended here. Perhaps it is scientific, but be aware that a multi billion dollar industry depends on "improving" the microbiome. Here's an ad in nature.com: https://www.nature.com/articles/d42473-019-00336-9
Any thought on imalanced microbiome being a second order effect rather than a cause? I’d guess continued stress responses from the nervous system could cause chronic gut problems
It's such a waste of comment - an intellectual platitude. Can you point specifically to how this research is flawed, or how alternative research offers a better explanation?
Maybe depressed people eat a lot of junk food.
Is your comment adding an informed opinion on this topic? Or are you perhaps smart in one area and think you can just wing an opinion on this topic? I live with someone with clinical depression. One of the most maddening things for her is the astounding number of people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about offering "helpful" opinions. No, they aren't helpful, they are hurtful. When someone triviali…

The other year they were saying autism was related to the microbiome. That got too-good-to-be-true alarm bells ringing in my head for sure.

I downvoted because by the HN guidelines comments should try to be curious and interesting and because “ Please don't post shallow dismissals ”. The abstract mentions that diet affects gut microbiome and that gut microbiome has a “shaping effect” on psychiatric disorders: > “ A growing body of literature shows that the gut microbiome plays a shaping role in a variety of psychiatric disorders, including major depressi…
It's certainly shallow, but not explicitly a dismissal. It doesn't contradict the OP. That's just the closest rule cited as there isn't one that merely explicitly states "don't post unsubstantial fluff". Maybe there should be.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, this is a good point.
Imagine a HN link to a paper which summarizes various other studies for the causes of failures in auto navigation systems. Dozens of studies are cited, which covers areas such as incomplete testing due to schedule pressures, not adhering to coding guidelines for safety, lack of redundancy or self checking mechanisms, hardware failure, unanticipated overruns of scheduler time budgets due to a confluence of exceptions,…
I bring up Celiac because 1/ I have it, and 2/ there is very little medical doubt / uncertainty / controversy about the disease.
Depression is a symptom of celiac disease, which is a result of gluten in the diet, another symptom of which is poor gut Microbiome health. I bring up Celiac because 1/ I have it, and 2/ there is very little medical doubt / uncertainty / controversy about the disease.
