Last week, I posted a story on the Biome Buzz’ Facebook page about how a metabolite from pomegranates and berries has been found to reduce inflammatory bowel disease.[i] Researchers at the University of Louisville discovered that the metabolite, urolithin A (UroA) and a synthetic…

A pretty interesting, and telling, piece of research[i] came out just yesterday. In previous work, scientists have shown that babies who are allergic to cow’s milk have different gut bacteria than non-allergic infants. The question asked by these University of Chicago researchers is: can…

Tuesday evening I printed out a bunch of new articles to read that looked potentially interesting. I’ve so far made it through 2, and one of those did not disappoint. A brief seque: I’ve probably mentioned this before, but because of my autism longevity…

Yesterday morning a story made its way through the British press about a probiotic, newly available commercially, which, in a 2016 clinical trial, successfully alleviated stress, increased feelings of happiness and boosted memory. The probiotic, Zenflore, is being called the first commercially available “psychobiotic”: …

Since eating a healthy diet is the most important factor in maintaining a healthy and happy inner biome, I thought I’d catch you up on some of the latest papers out there. I spotted another “most popular medical stories of 2018” article on Medical…

A few days ago, a fun article[i] appeared on Gut Microbiota for Health which listed their most popular articles in 2018. Contrary me: I looked through all 10 and found that the last one on the list was way the most interesting. In your…

Yet another article[i] was just published showing that dealing with inflammation issues while a baby is still in the womb can make a huge difference on the risk of atopic (allergic) illnesses. In this case, researchers in New Zealand gave 474 pregnant (starting at…

From the earliest days of this blog, I have talked about the too-often-ignored (and non-existent-in-most-people) macrobiome. Over the last few years, I’ve covered research papers that demonstrate over and over that helminths – intestinal worms, which are the predominant organisms of the mammalian macrobiome…

The article I read yesterday was a natural follow-on from my last post, about autism and its relationship to perturbations in the gut microbiome. This one was about a double-blind, placebo-controlled study using probiotics to restore normal gut microbiota in infants who were either…

Two days ago, I spotted a short commentary[i] in the journal, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, from this past August, which really caught my attention. Here is why: it was written by 3 researchers in the department of neurology at Rutgers University’s medical school…

As I promised last Thursday, I’ll finish talking about the article[i] on aging, the microbiome, and senescence today. A quick summary of my last post: the evidence currently available points to a depletion of the microbiota as we age (from diet (for example, older…
