In this paper, researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University in China made a comprehensive analysis of previous studies about the interaction between gut microbiota and diet composition, and its effect on gastrointestinal tract health. Their findings were published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness.
Since there is still a substantial gap in the understanding of how diet modulates the microbiota and how microbiota modulates host immunity, the researchers concluded that new tools and approaches are needed to further investigate this as the modulation of gastrointestinal tract microbiota offers a promising new method for the prevention, management, and treatment of various diseases.
