Abstract in brief

  • A plant-based diet leads to a more diverse and stable gut microbiome compared to omnivorous diets, which is beneficial for overall health.
  • Vegans and vegetarians have higher levels of certain beneficial bacteria, partly due to increased intake of fiber and polyphenols found in plants.
  • These components support the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that can improve immunity, gut integrity, and various bodily functions.

@Totally_Legit_T @TakketyTam @sky_nightscapes For one, it seems the gut bacteria in a vegan is much better https://t.co/Hrxfo9i4t7. Also, I found a study earlier (cant seem to find it again), it seems that vegans had similar health to meat eaters but reported mor mental health issues.
