The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
There was a study done by my colleague, Justin Sonnenberg at Stanford School of Medicine. Justin's actually my upstairs neighbor in the building at Stanford where I work and they explored how different foods or different diets, I should say, impact the gut microbiome and inflammatory markers.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
high fiber consumers showed increased gut microbiome encoded glycan degrading caz enzymes despite stable community diversity there was no change in alpha diversity with increased fiber gut microbe microbiome encoded glycan degrading c z enzymes because you're giving your body more fiber of course it's going to have more fiber plant fiber degrading enzymes three distinct immunological trajectories in high fiber consumers correspond to baseline microbiota diversity alternatively the high fermented food diet steadily increased microbiota diversity and decreased inflammatory markers
what they found was that when they did the studies the plant fiber-based diet did nothing for the alpha diversity but alternatively the high fermented food diets steadily increased microbiodiversity and decreased inflammatory markers
He didn't find the fiber actually didn't increase or change the alpha diversity of the gut. The but but interventions with fermented foods did.
