Offensive overselling of the #microbiome in breast cancer from the Cleveland Clinic

This study does not provide ANY proof of principle of this sort. You have not shown there are any pro-cancer bacteria. This is ridiculous and offensive. No wonder the news stories imply that this study is about preventing breast cancer. The press release from the Cleveland Clinic is deceptive. It makes claims about the work that are irresponsible, misleading, and potentially dangerous. The Cleveland Clinic should be ashamed.And thus the Cleveland Clinic is the winner of this edition of the Overselling the Microbiome Award. -------- This is from the "Tree of Life Blog" of Jonathan Eisen, an evolutionary biologist and Open Access advocate at the University of California, Davis.
