Well the sentence after that is rather critical. It’s not that 100% of humans have it, so who cares about animals; it’s that we have an enormous highly-scrutinized test population, and in general the impacts are mild to imperceptible. I’m not blowing off this concern; we need to keep studying it in humans and animals (and the results may be different!).
But right now there are scores of critical world issues that can be tangibly addressed. Asking people to make lifestyle changes for possibly zero meaningful impact is actually counterproductive.
