If you want to take a position on the role of gut health, vitamin d or fish oil or exercise in depression then you need systematic reviews or metanalysis to support those views. Not selectively choosing articles and bits of info and then cobbling together a narrative.
Yep Mercola sells supps. But everyone in the biz sells something. Is there a doctor or site that does not have a conflict of interest? If not Mercola, then who? WebMD has been exposed as a pharma shill. I'll take Mercola. You know he is saying important stuff, because of how relentlessly mainstream medicine attacks him.

Cobbling together a narrative? If you see gut health-mental connection as controversial or in need of evidence, I don't know what to say...
