“While no of this data proves causation, there is a growing body of research showing that excess refined sugar does increase inflammation which crosses the blood-brain barrier and acceleration brain aging. Regarding the diet soda, there have been studies linking artificial sweeteners to disruption of the gut microbiome which also causes inflammation which can lead to brain aging.”

“Participants in this cohort also provided stool samples for microbiome analysis and blood samples for the measurement of metabolic markers. The researchers collected this data at the beginning and end of the month of Ramadan and 30 days afterward.”

“FTA: > Inflammatory bowel diseases are associated with a decrease in the diversity of bacteria in the gut, but a new study has linked the same illnesses to an increase in the diversity of viruses.”

“FTA: > Rats fed a fiber supplement while on a high fat and high sugar diet show a much lower weight gain than those who did not eat the fiber, a study shows. A team of researchers says the study helps scientists better understand the mechanisms of weight control and energy balance.”

“Myelin is essential for normal brain function and is altered in multiple sclerosis), and altered brain structure. This was partly reversed by introducing the gut bacteria.”

“I understand that it would not be possible to make a placebo drink if the whole fruit was used...but I think it is better to consume the berries with the fiber which changes the way sugar is metabolized and also has benefits for the gut microbiome.”

“These findings suggest that food antigens help protect against small intestinal tumors in mice by activating immune cells that promote tumor suppression, highlighting their potential as a protective factor in gut health. The microbiome plays a key role in gut health, too.”

“People with atopic dermatitis have small quantities of certain beneficial bacteria on their skin. These bacteria were cultured to expand the bacterial numbers and made into a lotion that led to a greater than a 90% decrease in Staph aureus in all five patients.”

“Every other day fasting primarily alters the gut microbiota composition to promote the generation of acetate and lactate and this increased mitochondrial density in adipose tissue. The higher mitochondrial density in white adipose tissue caused the "browning" of the fat which results in increased energy expenditure through non-shivering thermogenesis.”
