Abstract

With the current boom of research interest on the links between diet and the gut microbiome, it is easy to fall under the spell of hyperbolic claims. The one point that shines through clinical research is that diversity of fresh produce is a key contributor to a balanced microbial population, a state known as eubiosis, which contrasts with dysbiosis. Trials assessing the impact of single foods as well as whole diets, on the microbiome, metabolome, and on mental health markers, already provide many clues about how to achieve the best health results.
