Scientists from Wageningen University & Research have successfully measured how intestinal bacteria transform food into gases expelling mice. With this new method, they want to know more. on good nutrition and intestinal health
In experiments on mice, it was shown that intestinal bacteria treated foods in different ways. For example, hard-to-digest foods were fermented faster than easily digestible foods.
According to principal investigator Evert van Schothorst, the method can be immediately used by humans: "There are already rooms where breathable air is measured, and if they are equipped with the sensors we used in our study, can measure in real time how intestinal bacteria are treating foods. "
" The measurements can then provide important information about the health of the intestines and in the future also on disorders such as Crohn's disease or irritable bowel syndrome.The results of research can also tell us more about healthy foods.The composition of intestinal bacteria and their reaction to food also have an effect on the feeling of satiety.More we know the better we can tackle overweight, obesity and related diseases, "says Van Schothorst
