It's pretty much a proven fact that gut microbiota is related to neurological diseases:
>Butyrate — an SCFA produced when gut bacteria ferment fiber — activates the secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), reduced levels of which have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease.
>“Our results are indisputable: Certain bacterial products of the intestinal microbiota are correlated with the quantity of amyloid plaques in the brain,” explains Moira Marizzoni, a study author with the Fatebenefratelli Center in Brescia, Italy.
The paper actually talks about gut bacteria as well. Its purpose to clarify that both the gastrointestinal bacteria ("gut bacteria"), AND gastrointestinal fungal colonies (amongst other locales) affect the brain (the "gut-brain axis")
So I am not sure of your point, dearest anon. I do agree. But there is more to this story.
