an eating grapes alter your gut health for good? A new research, conducted by the Western New England University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, has found that when healthy adults had three servings of grapes daily for two weeks, they increased some types of gut bacteria while decreasing others.
The levels of some gut bacteria, like that of Holdemania Spp decreased, while those of others, like Streptococcus Thermophilus, increased. Now Streptococcus Thermophilus is a probiotic, can help break down food, absorb nutrients and fight disease-causing organisms. This is commonly used to produce fermented dairy foods such as yogurt. Researchers also saw shifts in various enzyme levels and biological pathways.
