The molecular map paves the way for improved food choices

A new map of the molecules in our food holds promise in nurturing optimal gut function and overall well-being.

“Gut health” has become a popular term among food enthusiasts and dietitians, and for good reason. The trillions of microbes and bacteria residing in our gut play a crucial role in various health and disease aspects.

Researchers at the Yale Microbial Sciences Institute have made significant progress toward evidence-based personalized nutrition that caters to individual gut health requirements. Andrew Goodman’s lab has created the first systematic map detailing how molecules in specific foods interact with our unique gut bacteria.
