The aim of this project was to use evidence mapping to summarize published data on dietary fibers and the human gut microbiome. A newly developed comprehensive fiber database, comprised of human intervention studies, identified 141 relevant publications with the following broad outcomes: (1) ...

Sex, Body Mass Index, and Dietary Fiber Intake Influence the Human Gut Microbiome Increasing evidence suggests that the composition of the human gut microbiome is important in the etiology of human diseases; however, the personal factors that influence the gut microbiome composition are poorly characte...
cause for a previously mysterious link between dietary fiber, microbiomes, and health. However, the researchers caution that the results don’t point to butyrate as a new, simple supplement for heart health—fiber from whole foods still appears to be the ideal way to support a healthy gut. ...
Did you know only about 7% of Americans are getting enough fiber in their diets, according to a study of over 14,600 adults? That means the majority of us need to increase our fiber intake. But what is dietary fiber anyway, and why is it important to get
To reach this conclusion, we analyzed more than 12,000 stool samples from people in 45 countries. Using DNA sequencing technologies, we were able to identify and quantify the microbes detected in each sample. We found that the gut microbiome composition of people with Enterobacteriaceae was fundame...
While our research provides new and important insights, there's still a lot to learn. Many regions, including parts of South America and Africa, are underrepresented in microbiome studies. This limits our understanding of how gut bacteria vary across different populations. ...
We found that sex was associated with the gut microbiome composition overall (p=0.001). The gut microbiome in women was characterized by a lower abundance of Bacteroidetes (p=0.03). BMI (>25 kg/m2 vs. <25 kg/m2) was associated with the gut microbiome composition overall (p=0.05), and ...
When bugs in the gut microbiome are fed a diet high in fermentable fiber, they produced short-chain fatty acids, which protect against gut-related diseases, colorectal cancers, and obesity. Specifically, gut microbes produce more of the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, which can improve the gut...
In the ongoing hustle and bustle of our intestines, where bacteria and food regularly intermingle, there is another substance that, to the surprise of researchers, has been found to rapidly change: the gel that lines the gut. A new Caltech study is the f
