“Studies in mice suggest that dysbiosis – an imbalance in the microbes that inhabit the gut – impairs development and promotes gut inflammation[(https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34879222/) in offspring.”

“More than half of all colorectal cancers are sporadic, or nonhereditary. A key driver in the development of sporadic colorectal cancer is dysbiosis – an imbalance in the type and number of microbes that typically reside in the human gut.”

“muciniphila) may reduce the risk of developing several aspects of cardiometabolic disorders in overweight and obese people. A. muciniphila is one of the most abundant microbial species in the human gut, comprising as much as 5 percent of the total bacteria.”

“A certain species called Enterococcus gallinarum, was found to spontaneously "translocate" outside of the gut to lymph nodes, the liver, and spleen in mice and was found in cultured liver cells of healthy people, and in livers of patients with autoimmune disease.”

“After the mice had been on their respective diets for eight weeks, the researchers counted the animals' gastrointestinal tumors and gut microbes. They also assessed the animals' metabolic status.”

“The investigators performed their experiments using two mouse strains with altered gut microbiota: mice that do not carry Enterobacteriaceae in their gut microbiota (E. negative) and germ-free mice, which are raised in a sterile environment and do not have a microbiota.”

“However, recent evidence has shown a direct effect of emulsifiers on the gut microbiota that promotes inflammation and carcinogenesis. A more modern definition of safety that considers the effect of food additives on the health of the gut microbiota is needed.”

“The pomegranate compound is transformed by gut microbes into a molecule called urolithin A which causes cells to clear away damaged mitochondria and recycle their defective components for energy.”

“For example, relatively high doses of zinc (142 mg/day) have been shown to inhibit magnesium absorption. "Phytates in food bind to magnesium in the gut and prevent magnesium from being absorbed into the body".”

“It is important to point out that the vitamin D doses were high during this eight-week trial: 140 IU/kg bodyweight daily for the first 4 weeks and 70IU/kg daily for the last 4 weeks.”
