The gut-brain-axis has been under appreciated, but coming more into focus.

Apart from population ageing, the increase in processed foods, sugars, alcohol and fat has exploded over the last few decades initially in the so-called developed countries and spreading as wealth enable more people to adopt bad habits.

It is likely that a homoeostasis drug, like those from Anavex, will help fix issues quite far upstream but can't stop people adopting an unhealthy life style and screwing things up from down in the gut.

There is a financial symbiosis going on between the food and drug industry, is it incidental or deliberate? Interestingly a government organisation like the FDA sits right in the middle of this swamp.
