Some interesting and unexpected research finds today:
On kefir, which I am beginning to make in my home
Antimicrobial and healing activity of kefir and kefiran extract
And a few interesting studies recruiting now…
A controlled feeding experiment
“The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of dietary fat, in standard formulation, on the composition of the human microbiome in a prospective study of normal volunteers. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a high fat or low fat diet for 10 days. The gut microbiome will be phylotyped in fecal samples as well as in bacteria adherent to the colonic mucosa prior to, and during the course of the dietary interventions.”
I’m definitely going to want to follow these two for outcomes.
