Episode notes
Sugar and the Microbiome
- Dr. Mercola believes many misinterpret Ray Peat's work regarding sugar and fruit.
- He argues sugar is acceptable, but microbiome health dictates carbohydrate tolerance.
Microbiome and Cellular Energy
- A healthy microbiome requires optimal cellular energy production, which many lack.
- Without sufficient energy, oxygen leaks into the large intestine, harming beneficial bacteria.
Types of Gut Bacteria
- Beneficial bacteria, like Akkermansia muciniphila, are obligate anaerobes, thriving without oxygen.
- Pathogenic bacteria tolerate oxygen and contain endotoxin in their cell walls.
