Grape Consumption Modulates Human Microbiome, Study Suggests

Dave et al. demonstrated that grape consumption does not perturb the eubiotic state of the microbiome with normal, healthy human subjects; grape consumption does change taxonomic composition of the microbiome, enzyme levels, KEGG pathways, and the metabolome. Image credit: NoName_13.

In new research, scientists from Western New England University and elsewhere investigated the potential of grapes to modulate the human microbiome and thus influence health. “The potential influence of the human microbiome, consisting of over 3 million genes and on the order of 1014 microorganisms, on health and well-being is profound,” said Western New England … Continue reading Grape Consumption Modulates Human Microbiome, Study Suggests
