APPG Human Microbiome

We aim to improve knowledge and understanding within the UK Parliament of the role of the microbiome, particularly that of the gut, in benefiting human health

Worth the effort! what an powerful and inspiring study this was. Worth taking a look at Smiles if you haven't read it. Really showed the impact of a healthy Med-style diet on mental health

Awesome trial of #diet and #microbiome in healthy people

Fibre diet (very high 45 g/d!)
↔️No effect on diversity
↕️Personal immune responses

Fermented foods (6 servings per day!)
⬆️Increase diversity
⬇️Decreased inflammatory markers

Newsletter #33 is out! This month's podcast discusses dietary fat and the microbiome, read about how the gut can impact our skin, along with a summary of newly published research in the field.

[GutMicrobiota Health @GMFHx]

The closely related terms “fiber”, “microbiota-accessible carbohydrates” and “prebiotics” probably sound familiar. But what exactly are they and how can they contribute to promoting health and abrogating disease by shaping the gut microbiome? https://t.co/4onLUef1Ev

[Hydration for Health @H4HInitiative]

.@AndreaHardyRD now explains the importance of a rich and diverse gut microbiota for better health outcomes. Diet is the quickest & easiest way to positively influence our #gutmicrobiota #EFADCONGRESS2021

If you are an accomplished early career scientist studying probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics or fermented foods, you may be interested in the 2022 Glenn Gibson Early Career Researcher Prize sponsored by @ISAPPscience. Good luck! https://t.co/Nc4DzzLmbT

Pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila -- which falls under ISAPP's postbiotic definition -- is deemed "safe as a food ingredient" by the European Food Safety Authority:

HISTORY IN THE MAKING! An invited review just published in the British Dietetic Association’s own journal on #T2D Remission concludes low carb is effective and safe 😊 We all agree on so much. No one can say now the @BDA_Dietitians ‘don’t like low carb’ https://t.co/JChHQ6mFeB

A lovely introduction to the gut microbiome from APPG Human Microbiome member, @TheQuadram. 70% of our immune system is in the gut and in direct contact with gut microbes, so it’s worth knowing a bit about it given our immune system directs our response to COVID-19 infection

Nice tribute to Glenn Gibson as he steps away from the @ISAPPscience Board of Directors. He is a legend and one of the most influential people in the gut health arena, but is also such a great person. Congrats, Glenn!

[ISAPP @ISAPPscience]

With our annual meeting, longtime ISAPP board member and legendary scientist Prof. Glenn Gibson retires from board duties!
See here for ISAPP's tribute to Glenn and his many contributions to the organization over the past two decades:

We’d love to see this blue plaque (Glenn is one of the APPG’s Scientific Advisers)...

[ISAPP @ISAPPscience]

In the Ask Us Anything session, Glenn Gibson describes the conversation that led to the definition of prebiotics -- Gregor Reid suggests putting a plaque outside the pub in London where it occurred, so it can be included in bus tours in the future! 😂

When we hear about COVID, most of us think of it as a respiratory illness. However, current research is beginning to link #GutHealth with the severity of #COVID19 symptoms. Via @ABEProgOffice

Tag yourself I’m the clingy one.

On Tuesday, the Chair of the APPG, @JulieElliottMP asked the Secretary of State for Health to meet, in light of the increasing research into the relationship between gut health and covid-19.
