In our daily life nutrients aren’t consumed in isolation, so scientists are interested in understanding how dietary patterns modulate the intestinal microbiota. Two recent reviews update what we know about the impact of common dietary patterns on gut microbiota.
A recent review explores the evidence that exists for how dietary modulation of gut microbiota composition occurs, and the extent to which it depends on inter-individual microbiota variation in humans.
