Fermented food beat fiber in our own study:
- We expected high fiber to give the massive signal. Across the cohort we never saw it. Fiber responses were highly individualized
- Six weeks of high fermented food intake raised gut microbiota diversity, and in the industrialized world higher diversity generally tracks with better health
- A couple dozen inflammatory markers dropped in stepwise fashion, including interleukin-6 and interleukin-12, with immune cell signaling cascades less activated by the end
