Butyrate? Wa's that?https://t.co/KjRg5ARdth

I just like thinking about bees smelling flowers.https://t.co/QlatATSP1J

Have you ever tried to sit, and smell the flowers?https://t.co/QKxaMha4HZ

Bees are so distracted by the flowers they will often let you pet them.https://t.co/tEyyxFkITH

Its fascinating how the smell changes as the flowers become pollinated.https://t.co/8XWSXWrONB

Did you know that Ethyl Butyrate is used to manufacture synthetic rum?It's fascinating what you can learn by exploring how insect olfaction works.https://t.co/9O790c3Lnn

Learning how to make Rum? It's kinda disgusting.It's weird how something with high levels of butyrate ends up being my favorite alcohol.https://t.co/2e7ChS3V4C

Ever wonder why people who eat processed food might have gut issues? Are they not getting enough fiber, or are they killing off the mucus layer?https://t.co/TRbg1zK0Dk

I love the taste of bacterial waste.https://t.co/5jvRVfjnwZ

One of the principle tenants of Keto is low carb, so basically it cuts out most glucose. May have a more direct effect when paired with sources of butyrate, which as I understand is almost always a byproduct of gut bacteria fermentation of fibers.https://t.co/Qc3VBABSKj

Makes my stomach not hurt.https://t.co/F2i6fynxR7

"Butyrate protects against high-fat diet-induced atherosclerosis via up-regulating ABCA1 expression in apolipoprotein E-deficiency mice"https://t.co/DrQdpSnaIIIn my notes from 6 months ago.P-glycoprotein == ABCA1Direct ties from microbial butyrate to my gut health, lol.

What could he mean by this?https://t.co/s7QQeo87c4

"Butyrate is generated by [Firmicutes microbes] (including [F. prausnitzii], Roseburia spp., [E. rectale], Eubacterium hallii and Anaerostipes spp.) via the butyryl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase enzyme or phosphotransbutyrylase and butyrate kinase pathway"https://t.co/qL3hzqCwgZ

I have no idea what I'm doing.https://t.co/LugF7uS5lp

Did you know you can sometimes make cheese with armpits?https://t.co/a6CMHBal1r

Butryate is made in high quantities in many fermented dairy products. Like Ghee.https://t.co/0gQdZgsavs

This @jfcryan guy is pretty cool.https://t.co/qUBUQ8xNDe

Imagine that, someone figured out if you put gut bacteria back in & add a bunch of fiber... suddenly symptoms start to abate. A miracle!111They're already on the way to patent this particular mix of prebiotics and probiotics so they can sell it. "SIM01"https://t.co/HQtZmkAojk
