So this shit is real, and it's dangerous. I was socked with a candida infection some 15 years ago when a doctor fucked up and I had to be on antibiotics for too long. What I had is not the same candida as here, but is really bad nonetheless. When I learned what was going on with me and told my current doctor about it, he dismissed it completely as conspiracy-theory level homeopathic baloney. He literally said "I don't believe in all that gut-science." So I went out on my own and worked on treating it. Let me tell you: Candida is no fucking joke - especially when it's festered and grown in your system for years. In case you're wondering, the symptoms are bloating, massive appetite for sugar, intensely upset stomach (like taking antacids every night to avoid waking up at 2:00am puking in to my own throat), weight gain, and lethargy. It's horrible, and I lived with it because my doctor just told me I was fat. Sure, I was a little overweight, but it wasn't all fat. The shit in the article is real. Ya ya from China whatever. It's real. And we should be careful about this. If you have shitty gut symptoms, do a little reading about candida. Oh - it's also recently come out that candida can cause diabetes 2. Yep. This shit is evil.
