10% Human book Alanna Collen is worth a read (https://www.harpercollins.com/products/10-human-alanna-colle...). The theory is that our gut microbiome has a lot do with obesity than we realize. It explores various factors from excessive use of antibiotics to lack of fibre in the diet and a lot more.

Thank you for the book recommendation! I am interested in learning more about this topic. The gut microbiome is the newest frontier of discoveries, speaking of Wegovy/Ozempic….

Not sure if the book cover this, but Dr. Gregor (Nutrition Facts, How Not To Die) has written that pesticides are also > disrupting the gut microbiome > leading to obesity.

However, Dr.s are not allowed to recommend organic diets.
