Studies have shown that pure allicin (one of the compounds in garlic) can be effective against multidrug-resistant strains of E.coli, Candida albicans, and human intestinal parasites and viruses.

This is particularly interesting because — amidst a full-blown antibiotic resistance crisis — modern medicine is increasingly ineffective in the face of “superbugs.” Instead, natural substances, such as allicin, appear to be coming to our rescue when pharmaceuticals no longer can.

A 2015 study conducted at a hospital in Western India showed that garlic juice was effective against E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus, two bacteria commonly found in hospital settings.

Oral bacteria can be significantly reduced by a mouthwash that contains 10% garlic in the solution. (Not that we recommend using this before a date!)

Hot off the press! 🗞
Long-term dietary patterns are associated with pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory features of the gut microbiome, published April 2, 2021 by Gut
https://gut.bmj.com/content/early/2021/03/08/gutjnl-2020-322670

What are the new findings?
Diet-gut microbiome associations are consistent across patients with intestinal disease (Crohn’s disease, UC, IBS) and the general population.

Higher intake of animal foods, processed foods, alcohol and sugar, corresponds to a microbial environment that is characteristic of inflammation, and is associated with higher levels of intestinal inflammatory markers.

Plant-based foods are linked to short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producers, microbial metabolism of polysaccharides and a lower abundance of pathobionts.

Objective The microbiome directly affects the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses in the gut. As microbes thrive on dietary substrates, the question arises whether we can nourish an anti-inflammatory gut ecosystem. We aim to unravel interactions between diet, gut microbiota a...

Great analysis. Role of omega 3 in nutrition and health still has work to be done and this is helpful data. Remember those on a standard western diet have a very high omega6 to omega 3 ratio. This is much lower in WFPB nutrition. This may be one reason why the fish consumption appears beneficial in those on SWD who have heart disease.

While there are many areas of uncertainty in nutritional science, there is a core of knowledge that is not controversial.

Diets that include significant amounts of processed foods and animal products are a leading cause of modern diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Conversely, a healthy plant-based diet can provide improvements and even reverse these and other lifestyle-related diseases.
