A recent study on infant gut microbiomes reveals that over 75% of infants are lacking key gut bacteria essential for a healthy microbiome. The research, part of the My Baby Biome project, showed that nearly all infants possessed deficiencies in gut microbes, increasing their risk for future autoimmune conditions like asthma and eczema. The study involved families of 412 infants from across the U.S., representing diverse demographics. These findings underscore the importance of the infant gut microbiome in immune development and overall health.
The landmark study revealed that more than 75 percent of the babies were deficient in crucial gut bacteria vital for a healthy microbiome.
The study indicates that nearly all infants showed some level of deficiency in gut microbes, which significantly raises the risk of developing allergies, asthma, or eczema.
