“This is because it is complexed to a fiber matrix (which alters gut absorption and metabolism). Fruit also contains a plethora of unique prebiotics that are beneficial to gut health and immune health as well as a multitude of hormetic plant compounds which are also very beneficial for health.”

“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.”

“I spoke with the gut experts, Drs. Justin and Erica Sonnenburg, about the importance of the gut microbiome in human health and the various foods (ie. fermentable fiber and other prebiotics) that provide our gut bacteria with the food they need to thrive.”

“There is a specific type of prebiotic found exclusively in breastmilk called human milk oligosaccharides that have been shown to set up the early infant microbiome. The bacteria around the skin of the nipple also appears to be important for seeding the infant microbiome.”

“This research could have important implications for human health. The authors noted that other research has demonstrated the ability of some prebiotics (fiber and nutrients that are beneficial for the gut microbiota) to improve sleep in humans.”

“The quantity and composition of the HMOs in breast milk are genetically determined and differ slightly between women. The primary role of HMOs is to serve as prebiotics – compounds that induce the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria – in the infant gut.”

“Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are complex, indigestible sugars in breast milk. They serve as prebiotics – compounds that induce the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria – in the infant gut.”

“Soluble fibers dissolve in water and pass intact into the large intestine, where they are converted by colonic bacteria to prebiotic gels. Evidence indicates that consumption of soluble dietary fibers is associated with improved metabolic function, cardiovascular health, and gut function.”

“Many probiotic supplements contain insufficient numbers of bacteria to elicit a beneficial response and many are not stored properly to maintain the viability of the bacteria they supposedly contain. In this clip, Drs.”
