My meta take on this is there is no real critique. The article is just articulating that we don't know too much so we shouldn't focus on it, which seems like an incredibly dumb conclusion.

Instead, shouldn't we research & experiment? Especially since solving cronic health issues is not straightforward (too many variables, requires lots of experimentation since we do not fully understand the underlying system we are operating in).

Am I no doctor, but my anecdotal evidence (most friends have some sort of weird gastro issues), market changes (tons of gluten-free & dairy-free foods compared to even 5 years ago), combined with research seems to indicate that there is a big problem and we should be thinking about this.
