Imagine talking about a bacteria that could save lives and never naming it! For those who want to know, it's in the nature article: E.coli and pseudomonas are the ones cited in the source document, widely spread bacteria already in your gut. Sooooo...

Soooo... Regular gut biome already does this? Or are they talking about the e.coli that gives you the shits and food poisoning? Cause if its the latter, yes it will clean you quickly... Together will all liquids in your digestive system

If they're already in my gut, does that mean I have less forever chemicals in me than otherwise?
