RE: Resveratrol May Treat Obesity and Diabetes By Altering Gut Bacteria

in #medicine8 years ago

That's a really cool study. At the beginning, I wanted to criticize the sample size and the fact that mice are no humans, as you did and as I did in others of your post. But with time, I learned about this field. This is in fact a real good start and I hope further studies will be funded! :)

Yes the problem with all medical research is the fact that it is so expensive that you have to do it in small pieces at a time.

Human studies are even more complicated because it becomes vastly more expensive and there are a lot more ethical hurdles and approvals to get.

That's one of the reasons it takes so long to establish anything.

The problem is the media takes the study and then basically takes it as proven fact.

Yes for sure. Microbiome research is big, so is life extension and diabetes. This has all three. It may also give part of an answer to why previous research on resveratrol has been so mixed.

Thank you for commenting:)
