A review covering what we know about the gut microbiota in multiple sclerosis.
Maybe gut microbes generally influence disease processes via the immune system
(but TBH if it were really promising we'd already see microbiome-targeting drugs being advanced)

Spoiler alert: Don't waste your $$$ on fecal microbiota testing. Experts agree - there is not good evidence! I contributed to this latest @gutmicrobiotaww article on the topic https://t.co/nyi8s7RPsH

Not all dietary fibers work equal. @MariaLMarco & colleagues studied in rats how resistant starch type 2 and whole grain maize flours enrich different intestinal bacteria -- diversity is the key! https://t.co/Tf3Vyo2u9l

Many strains of C. acnes are all over the skin of your face but each pore contains only ONE strain.

Each strain gets comfy in its pore so it doesn't have to compete with other strains. An example of spatial structure shaping the microbial community.

Iron status, HIV and the gut microbiome might be closely connected. New findings suggest that oral iron supplementation can improve iron status without increasing pathogenic gut microbial taxa or gut inflammation in iron-depleted South African children https://t.co/oAHGE3GUGM

Could eating sugar be healthy?

For some human Arctic populations, it could be.

Can we get friendly #bacteria from non-fermented foods?

Yes! A new study showed that #fruits and #veggies could be a good source of microbes with the ability to produce #vitamins and SCFA, even after rinsing them with tap water.
