“Eating food is hard on the gut as it involves the ingestion of foreign substances. The gut lining becomes slightly compromised with each meal, and the immune system is activated. Humans may have evolved strategies to counteract these risks.”

“Sugar substitutes are food products or additives that provide the sweet taste of sugar, without the calories. Evidence suggests that sugar substitutes have surprising effects on human metabolism and these effects vary person-to-person, based on the overall makeup of an individual's gut microbiome.”

“BHB is produced from butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by the gut microbiota via the fermentation of dietary fiber. Along with the ketones acetone and acetoacetate, BHB serves as a source of cellular energy.”

“Barley has a type of fiber called inulin which has been shown to stimulate gut-derived hormones involved in sugar regulation and appetite regulation.”

“They are produced by gut microbes during the fermentation of dietary fiber and reflect the overall health of the gut microbiome. Short-chain fatty acids play critical roles in many aspects of health, including the maintenance of healthy blood pressure.”

“The study found that there was an increase in butyrate- and lactate-producing bacteria in the gut and this was associated with decreased body weight gain and increased lean mass throughout adolescence and into adulthood, even after exercise had stopped.”

“> Up to 80 per cent of people with irritable bowel syndrome experience increased anxiety and depression. And those with autism — a syndrome associated with problems interacting with others — are more likely to have abnormal levels of gut bacteria.”

“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.”

“In humans, myrosinase-producing gut bacteria can convert unhydrolyzed glucosinolates to their cognate isothiocyanates, as well. Microbial-induced conversion is highly variable (ranging from 10 to 70 percent) and subject to interindividual differences in gut bacteria populations.”

“They discovered that signals originating in the gut travel along the vagus nerve to this region of the brain to create a gut-brain-axis specific to glucose and similar molecules. Intake of these molecules stimulates even greater consumption, setting up an environment conducive to overconsumption.”
