Very cool stuff!

Of course, we've known forever that what we eat affects our health, not the least of which is by affecting the microbiome that lives in our gut, and how that feeds back on our health. This is just yet another mechanism that happens to work a bit more at the direct genetic level.

Of course, the overall health impact via this mechanism may be miniscule, and there is no reason to believe that GMOs would pose any greater risk in this respect than your average novel crop variety. But this mechanism could definitely offer some very interesting novel therapeutic opportunities.
