“Because the overall microbial makeup of the microbiome stabilizes around the age of three years, reconfiguring an unfavorable balance with dietary measures or via fecal microbial transplantation has shown limited success.”

“This is further evidence that gut bacteria can affect brain integrity through inflammatory-mediated processes. The lead researchers in this study plan on looking at the gut microbiome in patients that are susceptible to these kinds of strokes and seizures.”

“Removing the appendix early in life was associated with a 19-25% reduced risk of developing Parkinson's disease. The appendix plays a role in the immune system and the gut microbiome and now has been linked to the protein aggregates ( called alpha-synuclein) found in Parkinson's.”

“The gut microbiome from people with schizophrenia was less diverse than healthy controls and appeared to contain specific bacterial species that were so distinct from healthy controls that researchers were able to identify which people had schizophrenia based off fecal samples alone.”

“The data were corrected for potentially confounding factors like mode of delivery, gestational age, infant age during sampling, antibiotic treatments and breastfeeding status. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting gut microbiome influences neurodevelopment.”

“"But in analyzing data from foundational gut microbiome studies, we uncovered evidence that one type of bacteria associated with meat consumption can take the TMA, as well as precursors to TMA, and metabolize them without producing any TMAO.”

“A growing body of evidence indicates that eating a fiber-rich diet decreases the risks of many chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, and some types of cancer, including breast cancer and colon cancer.”

“More research needs to be done to investigate how much of a role high sodium intake plays in the relative loss of Lactobacillus strains from gut microbiomes and development of hypertension and autoimmunity.”

“A surprising benefit for the gut microbiome Fahey’s work has revealed that sulforaphane is an effective treatment against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium implicated in the cause of peptic ulcer disease and stomach cancer. The goal of traditional antibiotics in treating H.”
