• Gut Bacteria, TMAO and Whole-food, Plant-based Diets

More than 1000 different species have been identified. Despite the vast number of bacteria species and people, there are only two types of bacteriological ecosystems in the gut (enterotypes).

  Enterotype 1 dominated by Bacteroides genera bacteria which is strongly associated with high-fat, high-protein, animal-based diet.

  Enterotype 2 dominated by Prevotella genus bacteria which is associated with high-fibre, plant-based diets.
