Could greater diversity in the human gut microbiome confer greater stability in the face of dietary change? New work concludes that dietary protein and saturated fat may lead to modest changes in the gut microbiome, with people with high microbiome diversity achieving the least significant diet-induced change.

Western diets high in fats and sugars, modern lifestyles with stress and sedentarism and the indiscriminate use of antibiotics together with other frequently prescribed drugs -such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and proton pump inhibitors- are major drivers of changes in microbiota composition and gut barrier disruption.
