And the argument that I'm making here is not for a 100% whole food plant-based diet. Although I think that for many people, that can be a great dietary choice. But it's more so to say that finding the right balance for each of us. So on this 100% animal-based diet though, during the course of five days, there were some changes that were concerning.

So there were specific bacteria that started to rise up. And these are bacteria that thrive within an environment with high saturated fat, with more bile, because bile is released in response to that fat in the diet, and also the absence of fiber.

And one of them is called bilophila wadsworthia, and bilophila wadsworthia keeps showing up in association with ulcerative colitis and colorectal cancer. So within these, another was allostypes putridensis. Again, that's an inflammatory microbe. You find that in abscesses, and it's associated with colorectal cancer.

And then the last was a family called bacterioides that also- Those are great names.

Yeah, exactly. Those are microbes. So those are the microbes. And it's not to say that these people developed ulcerative colitis in five days. They did not. It's more so to say that you're creating an ecosystem, though, that puts you at risk. And if you have a certain genetic predisposition, that could absolutely happen further down the road.

So the other thing that was interesting real quick on the animal-based diet that happened that I think needs to be discussed is that they developed antibiotic resistance. And it did not exist. It didn't happen on a plant-based diet. Why would that be? It's not inherent to animal-based foods. It's our agricultural system.

So antibiotics, 80% of antibiotics in the United States that are manufactured go to cattle. Yeah. Or I should say not cattle, but animals. Yeah. Factory farming. Yeah. It's part of factory farming. And, you know, the issue is that there's loopholes that allow them to do this where they could say, oh, well, the animal needed it. Right.
