| Abstract: |
The article discusses the growing interest in understanding and harnessing the potential of gut microbes for treating health conditions. While there is a surge in public demand for microbiome testing kits, the challenges in defining an optimal microbiome and proving causality remain. Researchers emphasize the personal and complex nature of the gut microbiome, with varying configurations associated with different health risks. Some general patterns are emerging, such as higher levels of beneficial bacteria in vegans. However, caution is advised regarding the reliability of at-home microbiome tests, as better guidelines and regulation are needed to ensure accuracy. [Extracted from the article] |
