You clearly don't get it. This is not about what they eat.
If you mix two chemicals, they react the same way. It doesn't matter if this happens inside a mouse or a human.
Their reaction to it might be different, which is what the article ponts out. But the gut biome still compares to what's inside a human, so if you introduce something like red meat, the measured reaction inside will be similar, even if it's not in their diet, like you shallowly point out.
Oh I get it. It’s entirely about what they eat. Otherwise, the scientists wouldn’t have FED them meat. They’d liquify it and inject it.
Their gut biome is entirely different from ours. There are foods we eat daily that is poison to them. They as hard as you’d like, it this is bullshit science. Essentially an easy way to get grant funds.
Nothing more.
