In Western industrial nations, people’s lifestyles – in particular their diets – have a detrimental impact on bacterial diversity in their gut, and hence our health. Writers in several newspapers and news agencies have emphasised these findings this month, referring to the results of research conducted by scientists in several countries. Compared to indigenous people

“How the gut determines our lives”, is the slogan the German news magazine “Focus” once more relies on to summarise current research and observations on the importance of the gut microbiome. “For a long time, researchers assumed that microbes merely handle digestion”, the advance notice to the edition “Follow your gut feeling” says. Today, however,

Our bodies are teeming with trillions of bacteria, in particular in our guts. We know that they are crucial for our health.

Does food make us happy if we have a sufficient amount of a specific bacterial strain in our gut? This is the question science writer Rainer Kurlemann sets out in his contribution “What the gut flora achieves” for the “Stuttgarter Zeitung”.

Settling in our gut are several hundred different bacterial species (our gut flora). They make sure that our indigestion processes run as smoothly as possible. Should we lack specific bacterial strains, should there be not enough of them, or should others be too numerous, the natural balance is upset, disturbing the gut flora. Evidence of
