Gut bacteria is a really hot scientific topic these days... Do gut bacteria rule our minds? In an ecosystem within us, microbes evolved to sway food choices sciencedaily.com August 15, 2014 It sounds like science fiction, but it seems that bacteria within us -- which outnumber our own cells about 100-fold -- may very well be affecting both our cravings and moods to get us to eat what they want, and often are driving us toward obesity. In an article published this week in the journal BioEssays, researchers from UC San Francisco, Arizona State University and University of New Mexico concluded from a review of the recent scientific literature that microbes influence human eating behavior and dietary choices to favor consumption of the particular nutrients they grow best on, rather than simply passively living off whatever nutrients we choose to send their way.

Come on now, lets look at this critically. Of course the gut flora will change if you regularly consume anything and then go cold turkey off it. You would expect sugar loving bacteria to die off. Next ,after they die off if you challenge the person with sugar ,clearly they will not be as efficient in metabolizing it. This might argue for not alternating one month of artificial sweeteners with one moth of regular sugars. I could have predicted the above before the study outcome. I will listen to the study on 350,000 people in Europe. Carbs should be restricted to under 10% of your diet
