That may not be you who’s hungry. For the first time, research reveals that gut bacteria can control what we want to eat.
Researchers from the University of California-Riverside say eating too much fat and sugar as a child can permanently alter a person’s microbiome.
A direct and sex-specific association between the composition of an infant’s microbiome and early childhood behavioral health has been found by scientists at Dartmouth University
Scientists developed probiotics with a unique, edible coating that enables the beneficial bacteria to reach the intestine alive.
Antibiotics are helpful for treating bacterial infections, but their life-saving treatment effects come at the cost of ‘good’ gut microbes. To make matters worse, antibiotic treatment has increased the risk of being drug-resistant and developing inflammatory infections later on in life. To reduce the downside of antibiotics, researchers from MIT have devised bacterial strains that work to protect the gut.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) causes scars in the bile duct. It’s a grisly, painful disease. Slowly and relentlessly, it progresses to liver failure, infections, and tumors.
Scientists have found a link between the gut microbiome and symptoms of autism spectrum disorder.
New research shows that a healthy gut microbiome actually decreases the feeling of fear in infants.
Not only can the gut microbiome influence heart health, but how people eat can also determine whether those organisms help or hurt blood pressure levels.
