SHR # 1723 :: The Linkage Between Metformin And Beneficial Gut Microbe Changes + Genetic Adaptations To High-Fat And Cold Had Profound Effects On The Inuit :: Guest: Dr. Matt Andry - Dr. Rasmus Nielsen :: Often times pharmaceutical companies aren't sure how their drugs work. Could Metformin have some unintended beneficial effects? Could it stimulate the development of a gut microbe that not only helps blood sugar but also has some other unintended benefits? PLUS For many years Carl has promoted the notion that just because a diet works for a specific population that doesn't mean it will work for you. This study elucidates this fact very clearly. This interview inadvertently puts a stake in the heart of many long-lived population dietary templates like the Okinawan Diet and China Study and states that genetic specificity matters. ::
