Western Diet Responsible for Excess Bad Bacteria...
Dear Reader,
The bacteria of the digestive system, both good and bad, are much in the news. Researchers from the University of Florence have found the children in an African village, breast fed until the age of two and who ate a largely vegetarian diet (including the occasional termite for fiber) had vastly different digestive bacteria than children in a European city. These children were breastfed for one year and ate a more Western, termite free, diet.
When our bodies have a lot of good microbes living in the digestive tract we're able to digest and process what we eat without a problem.
Different types of food encourage different species to thrive, supporting natural diversity. This diversity allows people to adapt to different diets more easily.
The team compared fecal samples from 15 healthy children of the West African village Nanoro, with those of an equal number of subjects living in the city of Florence.
This particular African village was selected because of its isolation and the fact that the diet is very much like that of the Neolithic age - high in fiber, cereals, non animal protein and plants; the European children eat a more Western diet - high in animal protein, sugar and fat, but low in fiber.
All the study subjects were between 1 and 6 years old, and had taken no antibiotics or probiotics for the preceding six months. The information on diet came from parents. Not surprisingly the Italian subjects consumed more calories per day, 1512 vs. 996 among two to six year olds.
The study authors provided material that supports the idea that human's digestive organisms changed quite a bit once agriculture took hold and the society was no longer nomadic... a scant 10,000 years ago.
Once the food supply changed, the number and types of bacteria changed too, perhaps bringing more diseases. Once antibiotics, vaccines and better hygiene took hold, some scientists believe that more changes in the organisms took place - coincidentally at the same time medicine was seeing an increased number of allergic and autoimmune diseases.
Researchers wonder if the bacteria that populate the small Western stomachs might predispose these subjects to obesity or allergies later in life. DNA analysis found that Italian children had more bacteria linked with obesity with fewer fatty acids that can cut down on inflammation. The populations of bacteria were less diverse in the Western diet eating subjects.
African children had more good bacteria, and even some unique strains that weren't found in the other subjects. The work clearly verified the idea that there is a difference in colonization of digestive organisms associated with a low fat, low sugar, low prepared food diet.
The study raises the issue that diet might have just as much impact on the makeup of digestive organisms as do sanitation, climate and geography.

Western Diet Responsible for Excess Bad Bacteria... Continued...
This isn't the first work to find that the Western diet might influence digestive
organisms; an earlier work found that the mix of bacteria in a baby's system
might be able to predict whether that child will be overweight or obese later
in life. Another study found that prescribing antibiotics to infants increases
the chances the child might develop asthma.
The thing is, all of us eat too much cheap, convenient food according to Marianne
Grant, registered dietitian and educator at Texas A&M Health Science Center Costal
Bend Health Education Center. She contends that our bodies have not changed all
that much since those hunter/gatherer days, and we should be eating more like
our ancestors. Way more fruits and veggies and a lot of physical activity.
The work appears in the August 2-6, 2010 issue of the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences. The team hopes that the research might lead to new probiotics
that help improve the digestive health of those eating the Western diet. It also
suggests, that minus the termites, this may be a way to feed young children,
a diet more heavy in fiber but with the same amount of calories.
To your good health,

Fortune 500 companies make their money by people like you and I buying their products.
But how do they know what we want to buy? Easy they pay to find out the products we like, where we shop and what we buy.
