... Since the human gut microbiome is intrinsically linked to health, this could have implications that have gone unnoticed before now.

In particular, slow transit times and constipation have been linked with metabolic and inflammatory disorders, as well as neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

Figuring out the microbiome profiles associated with these gut transit times could help develop new ways to treat and manage these conditions.

"By taking into account the interindividual and intraindividual differences in gut transit time, we can advance our understanding of diet"microbiota interactions and disease-related microbiome signatures," writes a team led by nutritionists Nicola Procházková and Henrik Roager of the University of Copenhagen.

"Altogether, a better understanding of the complex, bidirectional interactions between the gut microbiota and transit time is required to better understand gut microbiome variations in health and disease." ...

@#17 ... I was referring to the effects of Iran closing Hormuz. ...

Apologies. I discerned a different view from the comment.

Thanks for the follow-up.

And, yeah, I agree with your comment.

At this point, I am in the "did not happen" camp.

@#15 ... Not much different now. ...

I disagree.

A huge difference between Pres Trump's current stance and what the fmr Pres Obama team negotiated was, among many other things, the participation and approval of nations of the EU, Russia and China in the agreement.

Will Pres Trump be able to pull in a similar number of other nations? Or will he be continuing to go it alone?

@#13 ... It bought him a faithful flunky, which was the whole point. ...

Aside from that, why does Pres trump seem to want to give taxpayer money to one of the wealthiest nations on the planet?

While denying proper healthcare for Americans?

How much money has the UAE given to the Trump family grifting?

@#13 ... It bought him a faithful flunky, which was the whole point. ...

Yup, looks that way.

Then there's this ...

Yeah, Mythos has raised many concerns. And rightly so.

Then there's this ...

@#12 ... The most economically devastating of Iran's potential responses would be closure of the Strait of Hormuz. ...

Wow, that was stated in 2008.

@#9

Also ...

@#9 ... They just chose not to close it so long as no one started a war with them. ...

OK I asked a search engine about the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, with a date restriction that ended in 2024.

This article appeared ...

@#8 he will be lucky to get the deal of Obama's that he tore up ...

Lucky? Or incapable?

My current thoughts are that Pres trump is incapable of negotiating a deal that is at the level of the one the Obama admin negotiated.

For starters, the Obama admin had nuclear scientists participating in the deal discussions to assure the scientific details were correct.

Pres Trump has his son-in-law Mr Kushner and his real-estate buddy (forgot his name) doing the negotiation.

Do they even have a clue about the level of enriching uranium needed for nuclear weapons?

@#93 ... We have a problem with liars ...

Interesting the use of "we."

@#30 ... Read the definition of troll. ...

Oh, I know how trolls behave. I used to run a bulletin board back in the day and had to face the troll-farms on a daily basis. That is why I stopped running the BBS. And also why I give major, major, congrats to RCade for running this most august board.

And I was not speaking about the definition of the word "troll" but more of a troll farm.

Do try to keep up.

:)

The troll-farm seems to be most active this evening.

Curious.

@#6 ... He won't get anything better. ...

Agreed. He has not the patience to enter into the negotiations required. Pres Trump seems to be more inclined to bullying than negotiating. ~Do as I tell you, or you will face the wrath of the US Military.~

...He will, however, claim is it better. It's what he does. ...

Also, agreed.

When has Pres Trump ever admitted that he may have possibly not acted in a beneficial manner?

(struggling to be kind in that prior sentence.)

@#2 ... He's going to do Obama's deal again ...

I remain to be convinced that Pres Trump will accomplish the same, or better, deal than the one negotiated by the admin of fmr Pres Obama.

OK, The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement that fmr Pres Obama (and other countries) negotiated with Iran had some quite significant conditions.

For starters, Iran pledged, by signing that agreement, not ever to have nuclear weapons. And Iran also agreed to auditing of that pledge by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), with the IAEA allowed to have unrestricted access anywhere within Iran.

Also, fmr Pres Obama had members of the European Union, and also Russia and China to sign on to the agreement.

Compared to that, how will Pres Trump's apparent "get me out of here" exit from his current Iran war look?

More from the article ...

... With talks on hold amid a tentative ceasefire, the Trump administration is eager to find an alternative to restarting an unpopular war that has roiled markets and drawn criticism from allies, according to people familiar with the administration's thinking, who asked not to be identified without permission to speak publicly. ...

Wow, the usual afternoon-active troll-farm aliases seem to be active this evening.

Something must have occurred.

@#86 ... Since 2016 the SPLC has not designated a single Muslim, Marxist or any left center group as a "hate group". ...

... and your current trolling alias' point is?

@#7

Pres Trump may be using taxpayer money to bail out one of the wealthiest countries on the planet. The UAE.

Let that sink in ....

So, the CDC under Sec Kennedy is actively hiding data that runs counter to how Sec kennedy wants to run the health of the Country?

This is a surprise .... why?

... President Trump and his family have extensive business ties with the UAE. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, took in about $200 million from the UAE's sovereign wealth fund for his investment firm, Affinity Partners, in 2023.

The next year, Kushner's firm secured $1.5 billion from Abu Dhabi-based firm Lunate and Qatar's sovereign wealth fund.

Last year, the UAE invested $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency venture run by Trump's sons Eric and Donald Jr.

Trump happened to lift export restrictions on computer chips at the same time. The Trump Organization is also building a luxury hotel in Dubai. ...

Speaking of Pres Trump bailing out entities ...

There's this ...

Well, it seems to be Pres Trump's jet fuel price increase that has pushed Spirit Airlines over the edge.

Maybe Pres Trump should bail out Spirit Airlines from his own personal funds, instead of those from US taxpayers?

@#4 ... Who in their right mind would want to visit the USA as a tourist while the demented loser is still in the White House? ...

FIFA and hotels seem to be finding out...

Of course, that may beg the question, will FIFA schedule future events in the US?

@#1 ... Why fabulously wealthy Ken Griffin's panty-hose got in a bundle: 93% of New Yorkers Approve of this Tax Measure on the Ruling Elites ...

Yeah, Mr Griffin, a party of one, seems to get the press attention because he is wealthy.

But then there are the millions who voted for Mayor Mamdani do enact these policies ...

... NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) Offends Multi-Billionaire ...

Great!

Good to see Mayor Mamdani following through on his campaign promises.

OK, here is how I view the oil supply from the Middle East ...

1) The Middle East is accustomed to pumping oil and loading it upon tankers for export.

2) That has changed. Tankers no longer seem to be available.

3) So then the ME started filling up their [quite limited] tank storage capability with what they were pumping from the ground.

4) those storage tanks now seem to be full, so the ME has stopped pumpig oil from the ground, shutting down an industry.

5) Meanwhile, the oil tankers that had been able to leave the Strait of Hormuz when it was fully open before Pres Trump's war have been reaching their destination ports.

6) But, there are few, if any, tankers behind them.

@#5 ... But now, it does not seem to be just America.

Look at what he has done to the global economy because of his war with Iran. ...

@#3 ... How presumptuous of this soldier to think corruption was allowable at the plebe level. ...

Agreed.

The world seems to be noticing.

... With World Cup games set to take place in 11 U.S. cities, attracting visitors from across the globe, the groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Reporters Without Borders, said visitors should use caution.

"While the Trump administration's rising authoritarianism and increasing violence pose serious risks to all, those from immigrant communities, racial and ethnic minority groups, and LGBTQ+ individuals have been and continue to be disproportionately targeted and affected by the administration's policies and, as such, are most vulnerable to serious harm when traveling to and/or within the United States," the warning read. ...

The grift didn't work?

And Pres Trump blames the wrong person?

@#4 ... Now he dragging America down with hm. ...

I agree.

But now, it does not seem to be just America.

Look at what he has done to the global economy because of his war with Iran.

How long will it be before the price of gas (gasoline and natural gas) no longer becoms the issue, but the availability of that gas becomes the issue?
