Reply to comment by Defiant-Taro4522 in How our microbiome is shaped by family, friends, and even neighbors. Study of the gut and mouth microbiomes of thousands of people from around the world raises the possibility that diseases linked to microbiome dysfunction, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity, could be partly transmissible. by MistWeaver80

That would apply to neighbors too. If you live in a predominately rich white area, with lots of greenery, and open space, your around wildly different things than if you live in a multi family high rise in the middle of the city, with zero green space.

Indeed! That can happen even if your neighbors are not white, believe it or not.

Please show me these highly affluent but predominately non-white neighborhoods across America.

Red lining is part of our history, most nice neighborhoods have consistently stayed veering white & non-white neighborhoods were targeted for less than desirable stuff to go in (like things we know cause environmental pollution), it's not racist to point that out, it's acknowledging our history of systemic racism & the lasting impact of it.
