The effects of various dairy products on the gut microbiota
Probiotic bacteria may be the reason why dairy products are good for you. Some dairy foods may change how the gut microbiota
is made up, which can help with weight control and metabolic health. But it’s not clear how dairy products could fix the bad effects
of a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet on lipid and glucose metabolism by changing the GI microbiota. So, the goal is twofold: 1) to
find out how the different types of dairy affect the gut microbiota in a mouse model of a high-fat, high-sugar diet; and 2) to find out
how gut microbes change the way the body uses energy.
