One should also consider that many of the health benefits claimed by these prebiotics/probiotics products in the supermarkets have limited scientific evidence of support.
It would be fantastic if major supermarkets had in-store educational information for consumers about the products that helped with gut health @sainsburys @Tesco @asda @waitrose @marksandspencer #aneasywaytoimprovethenationshealth

Oh oops!
Review combining 26 papers on gut microbiota changes in children with autism spectrum disorder: "These results were inadequate to confirm a global microbiome change in children with ASD and causality could not be inferred" link.springer.com/article/10.118…

@spoonerpaine @MattChallacombe we would encourage people to read the papers very carefully.
What are your thoughts on the Glyphosate and bee microbiome study (Anonymous comments welcome)?
@mcarlin33 We would encourage people to read the papers very carefully.
Technology is not evil, but scientists who use it can be. newscientist.com/article/218691…
What this study (goo.gl/kk9DDL ) found: Infants with higher BMI tended to be associated with more household disinfectant use, and the relative abundance of particular bacterial FAMILIES appeared different. News: Disinfectants make your baby fat through the microbiome!
And, non-colonizers =/= have no effects on host... We've seen many examples in other organisms.
"The outcome was striking...the microbes found in faeces were not representative of those that had colonised the gut". This is known for a long time. Why is it striking that fecal microbiome is distinguishable from the gut when you know some microbes colonize some dont? 2/3.
We are skeptical about exaggerated benefits of probiotics, but where in hell does this paper (goo.gl/qz8GLh) show probiotics are "useless and can actually hurt you"?!?!??! 1/3
Probiotics are mostly useless and can actually hurt you newscienti.st/2wL64CM

Eep, watch out for this press release -- the microbiome hype factor is super high. And it concerns a vulnerable group. Not cool. To set the record straight: - This was a mouse study only - No, preventing autism is clearly not as simple as altering diet... newswise.com/articles/view/…
@Graham_Coop Also want to add: beware of stereotyping a "PhD from Harvard'. We have members with ties to Harvard and know the inside-out of the hugely varied quality of PhD grads/postdoc at Harvard.
Microbiome Watch retweeted
I dont have a PhD from Harvard, but I'm going to say the skincare based on your DNA is BS.
@bioinformer Yep,😡 we need to do a better job in informing the public! Also pointing out the bad science.
Professional tip 101 to the microbiome community: We need critical thinking. Mind the hype.
A caveat with OTU that wasn't discussed much is the use of a uniform %identify threshold across all taxa (say, 97%). Variation shall be considered species-by-species. x.com/1NativeSoilNer…
@LMSegui Our research group still mainly uses on OTU's , but it does seem that many are moving to ASV's. Here's a nice article from nature that describes some of the pros and cons of OTU's vs ASV's. nature.com/articles/ismej…
"Best practice" sounds a bit of an over statement but the trend from taxa to functions is predicted. x.com/DeepakNModi/st…
