Gut bugs and human health: A tale of two evolutionary trajectories
Last week's post on the African diet swap study got me thinking about the mechanisms by which rapid changes in body function - such as inflammatory and metabolic activity - can occur, in response to a change in diet. The authors of the study themselves speculated that diet-induced changes in gut microbiome might be part of the explanation (and in fact, they will be publishing their findings on the effect of the diet swaps on participants' gut microbiomes, in a subsequent paper).
As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated:
