Another bacteria in the gut thread

Yeah, Whole Foods is not the place to be saving cash. Except, for some reason, on bulk cashews. We go through a lot of them, and they are $7.29 per pound at Whole Foods, compared to $10.99 per pound at my grocery store. No clue why.

It's not a traditional loss/leader but maybe for targeting upper-middle class households it makes sense? I guess its more likely they have a different relationship with the producers which might mean risking a poor crop at some point.

I just saw this news story from Friday.

In a nutshell, woman with bad C. Diff gut infection got a poop transplant from her obese daughter. It worked, killing off the C. Diff bacteria, but one year later, the woman dramatically gained weight and is now obese too.
