“These findings suggest that the gut microbiome influences the fate of PFAS within the body after exposure. Microbial uptake and retention of these chemicals could influence systemic levels and the rate of clearance, with potential implications for long-term health and future efforts to reduce body burden.”

“The gut microbiome uses fiber to generate short-chain fatty acids that regulate the immune system. Fiber can also slow protein digestion, and vegetables can serve as a carrier for the extra fat that is consumed in the diet.”

“Coordination of meal timing with the circadian rhythm can affect metabolic health, including glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity. Long periods without food allow the digestive system to rest and may be necessary for maintaining a healthy microbiome.”

“In a large UK Biobank analysis, higher alcohol intake was associated with lower gray- and white-matter volume, including within intake ranges often described as moderate. Sleep and the gut microbiome provide additional pathways.”

“Joint attention is a social skill that influences infants' capacity to learn from others, affecting early language acquisition and overall cognition. This study was small; however, its findings suggest a potential connection between the gut microbiome and early cognitive development.”

“Oat beta-glucan can also serve as a fermentable substrate for the gut microbiome. Whole oats, oat bran, and standardized powders differ in beta-glucan dose and viscosity, so a product should state its beta-glucan content and ideally provide independent quality testing.”

“A 500-milligram supplement produced substantially greater exposure than approximately 240 milliliters of pomegranate juice. The study illustrates how the microbiome can influence the amount of an active metabolite obtained from food.”

“Complicating factors and a place for moderation To say that dietary intake of refined sugar is to blame for heart disease is tempting. But the reality is that the way our bodies respond to food is also complicated by our genetics, microbiome, and lifestyle factors.”

“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.”
