Researchers studying exceptionally well-preserved feces found in Iron Age salt mines have discovered the presence of fungi used in food fermentation. The findings indicate the miners were feasting on blue cheese and beer around 2,700 years ago.Continue… Continue reading Ancient poop study reveals a 2,700 year-old diet of beer and blue cheese
The role of gut bacteria in the progression of prostate cancer has been highlighted in a new study showing how the microbiome can influence hormone metabolism, which subsequently amplifies tumor growth and disrupts certain hormone treatments.Continue R… Continue reading Researchers discover how gut bacteria can enhance prostate cancer growth
A new review article published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry is suggesting a number of different psychiatric disorders share common gut microbiome perturbations. The meta-analysis found depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and anxiety all present with similar gut microbial abnormalities, including higher amounts of pro-inflammatory bacteria.

Can the make-up of your gut microbiome affect the success of a weight loss intervention? A unique new study is indicating this is certainly possible, identifying several mechanisms by which gut bacteria can either help or hinder weight loss.Continue Re… Continue reading How gut bacteria may be sabotaging your weight loss efforts
A milestone study published in the journal Nature is reporting how gut bacteria can accumulate quantities of therapeutic drugs and potentially reduce their effectiveness. The research builds on growing insights into the ways our microbiome can either r… Continue reading Researchers uncover new way gut bacteria disrupt drug effectiveness
Impressive new research led by a team from University College London is suggesting bacterial imbalances in the gut microbiome may play a major role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis. The preclinical study found damage to the gut lining directl… Continue reading Rheumatoid arthritis linked with gut bacteria imbalance
Robust new research, published in the journal Science, has revealed a microbial mechanism connecting obesity with heart disease. The study describes how a high-fat diet damages intestinal cells, leading to an imbalance of bad bacteria that produce meta… Continue reading How gut bacteria pave the road from high-fat diet to heart disease
New research published in the journal Nature Aging is offering some of the first insights into how gut bacteria can potentially influence brain aging in mammals. The study found fecal transplants from young to old mice reversed some aspects of age-rela… Continue reading Gut bacteria from young mice reverse signs of brain aging in old mice
New research has found a maternal fecal transplant may mitigate the damage antibiotics cause to the development of a newborn baby’s microbiome. The animal study focused specifically on a mouse model of type 1 diabetes, finding a fecal transplant greatl… Continue reading Restoring a baby’s gut bacteria could reduce future diabetes risk
Investigating the relationship between diet, gut bacteria and systemic inflammation, a team of Stanford University researchers has found just a few weeks of following a diet rich in fermented foods can lead to improvements in microbiome diversity and r… Continue reading Fermented vs. high-fiber diet microbiome study delivers surprising results
