It's affecting your microbiome, it's affecting your mental health, your immune system, your metabolism, it's affecting your gene expression, it's affecting which peptides get produced in your body. Literally everything, the structure you're made of, how your tissues are formed, everything depends on what you eat. So there's all these extreme controversies about diet. Should you be vegan, should you be a carnivore? And there reality is that in the middle, in a very large swath of the middle, like maybe 2% on either end, or there's like kind of extremes.
