Fiber is a key overlooked nutrient in the diets of many. Although some fiber cannot be digested by humans, it can be broken down by the microbes in our gut – a community of bacteria called the gut microbiota. Like fiber, prebiotics also act as food for beneficial microbes in the gut, and many current prebiotics are actually considered to…

We've all experienced a late night of partying followed by a dose of fast food in the early hours of the morning. And we've all been so busy with work that we don’t have time to sleep or eat. But did you know these behaviors can have a negative impact on your gut microbiota health? Diet is the factor that…

Manon Oliero
Manon Oliero is starting her PhD about gut microbiota, nutrition and cancer at the CRCHUM of Montreal. Before, she specialized in the gut microbiota and nutrition field by obtaining a master’s degree in Paris in microbiology and a food and health engineer degree in Beauvais. She first meets the scientific communication world in Barcelona after her work on gut microbiota and diet at the VHIR. She is really concern about health of the population and believe that with a better diet and lifestyle we can all make ourselves healthier.

Obesity and cardiovascular disease are on the rise as we have shifted away from traditional low-fat, high carbohydrate diets. Many of us living in more developed countries now eat a higher proportion of fat and a smaller proportion of carbohydrates than our ancestors once did. A new study published in the “British Medical Journal” investigates this dietary transition, providing evidence…
