which part of "not only" and "but thrive" weren't relevant to his point?
We've always known that babies need nutrition, but knowledge of the role of the gut microbiome, how to develop it and ensure it is healthy is relatively new.
Oh, the gut biome! Dang, I thought it was magic spirits that caused the benefit of nutrition. Thanks Mr Gates for explaining to everyone that it was the gut's micro biome!
OK, now you're being deliberately obtuse. The impact of the type and capacity of the gut biome is relatively new research.
The impact of having caeserian delivery on an infant's initial gut biome is relatively new knowledge, which is leading to changes in healthcare delivery for child health.
Maintaining good gut biome health is also still being researched, as well as what actually is a good gut biome. Whether it is dependent on different locations, or diets and what are the side effects.
This is not just "good food is good for you" research that the Gates Foundation is funding.
It's fundamental basic research that pharma development is not focused on delivering that will lead to better health worldwide.
