...impact came into plain view when the researchers started experimenting with the rodents' diet. When one group of mice was fed a typical Western diet, high in fat and sugars, they tended to gain weight and grow more Firmicutes gut bacteria and fewer Bacteroidetes. In mice given a low-fat plant-based chow, the distribution of the two groups of bugs flipped and the animals remained lean. It's not clear whether the balance of gut bugs causes weight gain or is a result of it, but the findings suggest that a "gut profile" could potentially serve as a diagnostic...
Gordon also found in his mouse populations that changing the animals' diet caused a dramatic and rapid shift in the population of bacteria in their gut. Switching a mouse from low-fat plant chow to a high-fat Western diet resulted in an explosion of Firmicutes in less than...

...rallied, a bet on inflation? There's still a lot of risk aversion among investors, which is why the bond market is so strong. In other words, if you are fearful of stocks, you're just going to stay in the fixed-income market.

That's why you see things like junk bonds rallying. You also see commodities rallying - but that's also an expression of risk aversion. People see stocks...
...talking in the next six months or much longer? I think we're talking 18 months, maybe two years down the road. People are still talking about deflation; you're still looking at low labor costs, high unemployment and a slow recovery. Inflation will probably come, but not for a while...
