How diet can impact gut microbiota to promote or endanger health
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Disturbances of the intestinal microbiota have been increasingly implicated in driving various diseases associated with a broad range of chronic inflammatory state. Such diseases have increased in incidence since the mid-20th century, and have roughly correlated with societal changes in food production during this period. RECENT FINDINGS: Considering how changes in diet may have impacted gut microbiota and exploring whether targeted modulations of diet might be a means of optimizing microbiota composition to promote health. SUMMARY: Recent literature demonstrates that modulation of diet has potential to both beneficially and detrimentally impact microbiota composition and how it interacts with its host. Herein, we discuss recent studies by ourselves and others that demonstrate the potential for changes in diet to have profound impacts on the gut microbiota in ways that can have beneficial or detrimental effects on host health.

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.
