Here’s where we never see the cure, due to profits.
If you look at the paper they promoted the beneficial bacteria by feeding two specific prebiotics. Both of those compounds occur in reasonably high concentrations in carrots.
So you could try the unapproved treatment yourself eating carrots regularly.
big pharma wants to know your location
I remember early in my childhood I had some neighbors who were health nuts and they always offered me a snack carrot, then I decided carrots were really healthy and remember at least a few times eating too many carrots and I got a peculiar nauseous stomach wooziness I call "the carrot feeling."
I semi recently got back into carrots as a hummus dipper. And then quickly learned that the 'little' bag of baby carrots I had been using were 1lb and the uhh.. Consequences for that consumption were both rather fast and highly unenjoyable.
Yes the nausea is very real! Also people who eat too many carrots and other orange things with a lot of beta-carotene such as pumpkins, their skin actually begins to take on an orange hue.
That happened to my little brothers in their toddler years. They were fed a rather impressive amount of gourd similar to pumpkin that was well known as nutritious baby food in the area we were living at the time. I'll never forget my mom turning to me one random day and asking "Are they looking a bit more... Orange? than usual??" It was quickly sorted out as to why they had become little chubby pumpkins, but that moment was quite priceless.
Yes! Puréed sweet potatoes is another popular one to give to babies, I have seen babies turn orange from that too.
I get a similar feeling sometimes when I have a bunch of cashews and almonds.
Ive had that happen too
That’s good to know, with all the carrots I eat daily finally having some beneficial evidence.
So does it work? Is limiting calorie intake easy for you when you have daily carrots?
It actually does, but eating carrots so often has my stomach displeased with stuff like pizza these days.
limiting calorie intake is very easy if you only eat carrots, at least
Actually, in this case it's due to laziness and ignorance of the populace:
There may be an existing solution to the chronic disease crisis, but a disabled patient seems to be the only person motivated enough to try to obtain it. And they've been failing going at it alone.
Common folk will likely never have access to a magic bacteria that prevents you from getting fat with zero effort
