Claim 1 of 5Not checkedRutgers researchers are part of an international call for a microbiome 'moonshot,' a coordinated effort to determine how microorganisms inside us drive chronic disease and how others can be harnessed for repair.View evidenceHide evidence
As stateda massive, coordinated effort
Not checked
A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 2 of 5Not checkedThe authors say evidence has increased that disruptions to the microbiome may help explain the rise of chronic conditions such as obesity, asthma and food allergies, but proving cause and effect requires more research funding for large, lengthy controlled human experiments.View evidenceHide evidence
As statednearly simultaneous rise

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 3 of 5Not checkedTheir plan, outlined in Nature Medicine, identifies 10 priorities for testing the microbiome's role in chronic disease and developing ways to protect or restore microbial functions that support health.View evidenceHide evidence
As stated10 priorities

Claim 4 of 5Not checkedThe authors place particular emphasis on pregnancy and early childhood, especially the first 1,000 days from pregnancy through a child's second birthday.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedthe first 1,000 days

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 5 of 5Not checkedThe article says antibiotics in infancy and cesarean delivery alter microbiome development and correlate with metabolic and allergic conditions later in life, and that the authors propose following people from pregnancy through adolescence to test whether those disruptions cause later conditions and whether preventives work.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedfrom pregnancy through adolescence
