Veganism vs. Ketogenic Diets and Microbiome Balance
The impact of extreme diets on the microbiome is analyzed, noting that strict ketogenic diets often lead to high Bacteroidetes levels while vegan diets result in high Firmicutes. Neither extreme is considered optimal for long-term gut balance. Brisson criticizes "junk food veganism" where meat is replaced with sugar and enriched flour, advocating instead for a balanced, omnivorous approach that includes essential nutrients like B12.
