Recent findings show that milk consumption is connected with an uptick in several helpful bacteria which help lower inflammation and improved gut barriers, according to a study led by Dr. Li Jiao from Baylor College of Medicine. Cheese on the other hand, may have the opposite effect.
Dr. Jiao and his team caution against sweeping conclusions because participants in the study involved a small group of 34 older men, and their average dairy intake was lower than national averages. It merely identifies a connection between dairy in this age group and the presence of certain healthy gut microbes.
Milk for example, supports the presence of Faecalibacterium, Akkermansia, and Bifidobacteria, each known to support a healthy, balanced gut.
