The Impact of Dietary Choices on Gut Microbes
The microbes living in the human colon are as alive as humans and need nutrition to thrive. They reside in the colon because they gain access to nutrition from the food ingested by the human.

Improving dietary quality has a direct impact on the thriving of specific microbial families.
