Diet rapidly and reproducibly alters the human gut microbiome
Open accessAbstract
Long-term dietary intake influences the structure and activity of the trillions of microorganisms residing in the human gut, but it remains unclear how rapidly and reproducibly the human gut microbiome responds to short-term macronutrient change. Here we show that the short-term consumption of diets composed entirely of animal or plant products alters microbial community structure and overwhelms inter-individual differences in microbial gene expression. The animal-based diet increased the abundance of bile-tolerant microorganisms (Alistipes, Bilophila and Bacteroides) and decreased the levels of Firmicutes that metabolize dietary plant polysaccharides (Roseburia, Eubacterium rectale and Ruminococcus bromii). Microbial activity mirrored differences between herbivorous and carnivorous mammals, reflecting trade-offs between carbohydrate and protein fermentation. Foodborne microbes from both diets transiently colonized the gut, including bacteria, fungi and even viruses. Finally, increases in the abundance and activity of Bilophila wadsworthia on the animal-based diet support a link between dietary fat, bile acids and the outgrowth of microorganisms capable of triggering inflammatory bowel disease. In concert, these results demonstrate that the gut microbiome can rapidly respond to altered diet, potentially facilitating the diversity of human dietary lifestyles.

Both red meat and animal protein decrease levels of Firmicutes, while high dietary fiber increase them.

The paper’s Abstract reports that an animal-based diet reduced certain Firmicutes that metabolize plant polysaccharides. It does not establish that red meat or animal protein independently caused the decrease, or that Firmicutes as a whole decreased. The passages report higher fiber intake on the plant-based diet, but not an increase in Firmicutes attributable to fiber; no page number is provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

The study-design passage and Methods (Diet design) describe separate five-day diet arms, with subjects eating normally outside them—not a direct switch from one experimental diet to the other. The microbial-community passage reports a significant compositional change unique to the animal-based diet, occurring one day after that diet reached the distal gut. It does not establish substantial changes within 24 hours for switches in both directions. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
