Dietary Effects on the Human Gut Microbiome

Started June 13, 2020

Abstract or project description

The gut microbiome has a large impact on many different facets on the human body, but they play an especially intimate role in nutrition. The diversity of the gut microbiome is affected by our diets; the specific foods we eat - especially as infants, our general diet, and fibers - change both the amount and diversity of bacteria in our gastrointestinal system.
