I'm very happy to share our latest manuscript published today in @nature.com !! ➡️ doi.org/10.1038/s415... We analyzed data from over 34,000 participants in the US and UK, revealing strong associations between specific gut bacteria and markers of cardiometabolic health and dietary habits.

Coffee consumption is associated with the presence and abundance of a specific member of the human gut microbiome, Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, and changes to the plasma metabolome, according to a paper in Nature Microbiology. go.nature.com/3CIl4as 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows the consistent global links between coffee consumption and the human gut microbiome.
