Abstract

Public interest in the effects of fermented food on the human gut microbiome is high, but limited studies have explored the association between fermented food consumption and the gut microbiome in large cohorts. Here, we used a combination of omics-based analyses to study the relationship between the microbiome and fermented food consumption in thousands of people using both cross-sectional and longitudinal data. We found that fermented food consumers have subtle differences in their gut microbiota structure, which is enriched in conjugated linoleic acid, thought to be beneficial. The results suggest that further studies of specific kinds of fermented food and their impacts on the microbiome and health will be useful.

  • People who consumed fermented plants 1 or 2 times per week or once per day had a dose-dependent, significantly different gut community measured by beta-diversity compared with nonconsumers.

    “another recent study analyzing samples from 115 individuals in the American Gut Project showed that people who consumed fermented plants 1 or 2 times per week or once per day had a dosedependent, significantly different gut community measured by β-diversity compared with nonconsumers.”
  • An association between fermented food consumption and abundance of bacterial taxa as well as microbial functional profile was reported.

    “Additionally, an association between fermented food consumption and abundance of bacterial taxa (e.g., Bacteroides, Pseudomonas, Dorea, Prevotella, Oscillospira, F. prausnitzii, Lactobacillus spp.) as well as microbial functional profile was reported (59).”

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.
