TLDR: Just because a zero-carb gut microbiome doesn't match a carb-eaters microbiome doesn't mean there are health downsides to a different microbiome. Lots of assumptions to unpack. Net result is the microbiome research is suggestive currently, but nothing that should influence diet choices. Focus on real hard outcomes, not intermediate (microbiota) metrics.
