Intressant inlägg om Hadzafolkets tarmflora
Many of the bacteria are species that the researchers had never seen before. And even familiar microbes were present in unusual levels in the Hadza belly. “The Hadza not only lack the ‘healthy bacteria,’ and they don’t suffer from the diseases we suffer from, but they also have high levels of bacteria that are associated with disease,” Crittenden said.
In westerners, Bifidumbacterium is a microbe that many nutrition scientists thought was essential to good gut health, but it is almost completely absent in the foragers. Likewise, high counts of the bacteria Treponema have been linked to maladies like Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Neither of these diseases exist among the Hadza, but their guts contain abundant Treponema.
http://www.wired.com/2014/04/hadza-hunter-gatherer-gut-microbiome/Om man kombinerar tankarna om Hadza med tankarna kring "hook worms" i det här inlägget så kanske det kan förklara varför hadzas dåliga bakterier inte är dåliga. De kanske trycker ner immunförsvaret på ett lagom sätt. Vågar jag säga J-kurva???
