The article discusses the importance of maintaining a diverse gut microbiome for optimal health. It highlights how poor dietary choices can reduce this diversity, leading to issues in both gastrointestinal and mental health. A new type of soda pop, which contains prebiotics believed to improve microbiome diversity, has entered the market but lacks scientific evidence supporting its claims. The evolving understanding of the role of bacteria underscores their necessity in human health, challenging past perceptions of bacteria as harmful entities.
Balancing the diversity of bacteria in our microbiome is associated with better health. Many people have poor diets that lead to less gut diversity and poor gastrointestinal and mental health.
A new soda pop containing a mixture of prebiotics to encourage bacterial diversity is now available, but currently, there is no scientific evidence that the prebiotics in the drink will improve microbiome health.
