new study published in Scienceexamined factors that contribute to the diversity of people’s microbial community. After analyzing stool samples of 1,135 Dutch people enrolled in the Lifelines-DEEP study, it found that wine, coffee, tea and yogurt, among other factors, contributed positively to the microbial diversity in the gut.
Sugary sodas and smoking during pregnancy, on the other hand, decreased diversity.
