This is interesting to me, because my intuition would be that it doesn’t matter whether the calories are going into microbiota or fat, it’s still going to end up as weight in your body (gut bacteria still add mass).

They mentioned in the article that with high fiber diets there's more calories in the waste/scat. So you're absorbing less into fat or the gut.

A few things that caught my attention:

  1. Heat damaged meat had more damaged DNA than a heat damaged vegetable.
  2. Lab grown meat really soaked up the damaged DNA from meat/veggies

The article does reinforce the commonsense that being a vegetarian is healthier for you than eating meat... But eating fried veggies still absorbs that damaged DNA into your system.
