specifically AI-slop. Literally a place where a human could have put some "western diet" foods on a table and snapped a pic with their phone and it would have been better. The only reason to not do this is because all those "western diet" processed foods that are so unhealthy have large corps, with lots of lawyers. And those corps might get upset.

Full paper, mouse study, so the western diet is high glycemic load.
Not sure about the summary article above pushing a plant based diet based on this study, it's mice, and they didn't compare to a non-plant based mice chow.
The take away is reduce processed food, and glycemic load. The rest is just opinion
Heh - I'm pretty sure sunshine blocked me because my comment is the only one they didn't downvote.

"western diet" okay say what it actually is, they act like we dont also eat vegetables, the implication is they went full carnivore or mcdonalds type shit
If you scroll down it at least gives you the vibe of what the "Western Diet" is:
A high-fat, low-fibre Western-style diet (WD) induces microbiome dysbiosis characterized by reduced taxonomic diversity and metabolic breadth, which in turn increases risk for a wide array of metabolic, immune and systemic pathologies.
So, the Western Diet could still be plant-based, if all the only definition is "high-fat, low-fibre"
This is exactly why it's critical to read the real papers and not news opinion pieces of the paper
and low diversity. A key point is that more variety of plants provides a wider range of nutrients to the bacteria.
Fiber = plant fiber
How can you have a plant based diet that is low in plant fiber?
Western diet in a nut shell
Look at the nutrition information for any food you buy, if the ingredient isn't something you could make at home... Then it's a western diet type of food and heavily processed
Example Nature's Choice Granola Bars: https://www.naturevalley.com/products/oats-n-honey-crunchy-granola-bars
I've bolded the parts that are heavily processed and making this a western diet food
Not related to this paper, but if they had looked at a carnivore diet in humans they would have found a great microbiome...
Yeah that granola is like, sugar/-protein, sugar, fat, sugar, sugar, salt, sugar...
