Data from colleagues @StanfordMed the Sonnenburg Lab published @CellCellPress show that ingesting fermented foods (but not fiber) is beneficial for gut microbial diversity & anti-inflammatory markers.

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.

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.
alternatively the high fermented food diet steadily increased microbiota diversity and decreased inflammatory markers ah so they say our results indicate fermented foods may be valuable encountering the decreased microbiome diversity and increased inflammation pervasive in the industrialized society
It's not surprising they improve the alpha diversity, inflammatory markers, and immune markers in the gut in that controlled study from Justin Sonnenburg's lab.

what does improve gut diversity fermented foods where do we find fermented foods on an animal-based diet you are going to get fermented foods from kefir... it's something that I eat every day... you're also going to get quote unquote natural probiotics from raw dairy which is one of the reasons I enjoy raw dairy I use raw milk from cows or goats to make kefir and I do raw butter and raw cheeses all of those are going to essentially be sources of environmental quote unquote natural probiotics it's not surprising they improve the alpha diversity inflammatory markers and immune markers in the gut
fermented foods like kefir have been shown to increase the alpha diversity of the gut
