Last night, I read an article that fit absolutely perfectly into my unintentional but prominent theme of the last couple of weeks: the relationship of the microbiome to weight issues…and to food: “Food Processing, Gut Microbiota and the Globesity Problem.”[i] Yup – we face…

My Monday afternoon was devoted to reading two articles about the microbiome and autism. The first was a chapter from a book on biological markers found in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disease.[i] I’ve chosen what I thought were the top 10 points from this article…

I was introduced to a new probiotic species this morning that sound like it holds a lot of promise: Roseburia intestinalis. I came across an article[i] on Gut Microbiota for Health describing research into the beneficial effects of butyrate-producing bacteria on atherosclerotic plaques and…
