The difference diet makes to metabolites and microbiota

Access through your institution Buy or subscribe The metabolomes and gut microbiotas of Northeastern US urban-dwelling vegan and omnivorous citizens have been compared in a new study


published in _Gut_. Surprisingly, gut microbial composition differed modestly between groups but the plasma metabolomes varied considerably. Previous studies have indicated that diet affects


our gut microbiota and consequently our metabolome; however, the strength of the effect is uncertain. By studying individuals living in the same area but who adhered to either a vegan or


omnivorous diet, the researchers were able to separate environmental factors from dietary ones. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
