Diverse diets enrich gut microbes
Diverse diets enrich gut microbes Published Thursday 17 March 2016 By Catharine Paddock PhD Source: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/308017.php - - - - - In a paper published in the journal Molecular Metabolism, scientists describe how health is compromised when we reduce the diversity of nutrients in our diet - because of the effect this has on the richness of our gut microbe population. Mark Heiman, from MicroBiome Therapeutics in New Orleans, LA, and Frank Greenway, from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA, explain that over the last 50 years, by reducing agro-diversity, changes in farming have reduced dietary diversity. More and more research...

Healthy Gut Bacteria – Diversity is the Key By Dr. David Perlmutter, MD Source: http://www.drperlmutter.com/healthy-gut-bacteria-diversity-key/ - - - - - I recently had the opportunity to interview Dr. Mark Plotkin, a renowned ethnobotanist who has spent almost three decades studying traditional plant use with the traditional healers of tropical America. Previously, he served as Research Associate in ethnobotanical conservation at the Botanical Museum of Harvard University and now serves as president of the Amazon Conservation Team, an organization dedicated to studying and raising global awareness of the ever-increasing rates of bio-diversity loss in the Amazon region. Dr. Plotkin made it very clear to me that it...

Gut microbes influence the body's response to high-fat diet By Catharine Paddock PhD Published Thursday 6 July 2017 Source: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318285.php - - - - - The results of a new study provide evidence that it could be possible to tailor diets to individual patients, based on the signature of their gut microbiome. New research explains why the same high-fat diet affects people differently. The team found that they could predict which mice would gain more weight and develop glucose intolerance after switching to a high-fat diet by using gut microbe signatures that were present before the switch. In a paper published in Cell...
Human enzyme may be key to unraveling Alzheimer's disease
Human enzyme may be key to unraveling Alzheimer's disease By Tim Newman Published Wednesday 28 June 2017 Source http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318138.php?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly-us Protein aggregates are the hallmark of a number of neurodegenerative diseases. New research, published in the journal PLOS Biology, examines a human enzyme that unravels these disruptive plaques. Neurodegenerative diseases already affect millions of people in the United States. They tend to strike in middle to later life, and, because the population is starting to live longer, the number of cases is set to rise. By some estimates, in 30 years, there will be 12 million people in the U.S. living with a neurodegenerative condition....
