Just my fantasy scenario, imagine if some kind of yeast/virus affects humans to eat so much sugar, we never need so much sugar, but there's some-kind of yeast inside us that controls us, to create and consume sugar for it.
- rgrieselhuber 2y agoI’ve always assumed that this was sort of a known thing.

- lambertsimnel 2y ago> imagine if some kind of yeast/virus affects humans to eat so much sugar I think the gut microbiome can indeed do this. The episode called "Swap Out Sugar" of the BBC podcast Just One Thing explains more - the relevant section is from after 7 minutes to before 12 minutes into the episode: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09by3yy/episodes/downloads?page=3 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09by3yy/episodes/downloads...
- devmor 2y agoAs far as I am aware this is a legitimate theory and angle of study around the guy microbiome, not just a fantasy.
