artificial sweeteners, Gut Flora
Earlier this month, the Deutsche Apotheker Zeitung (DAZ) reported that frequent intake of zero-calorie or non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) may affect the gut flora (i.e. the bacteria populating your gut), and hence our microbiome. Since a healthy and, as regards bacterial diversity, well-balanced microbiome strengthens our immune system and prevents disease, among others, any change to

Compared to city kids, rural children are less likely to develop allergies – and this has something to do with bacteria and the microbiome. These findings – popularised as the “cow shed theory” some time ago – do not only apply to children. Adults, too, have been shown to exhibit a variety of symptoms depending

Good news for anyone fearing the Easter chocolate bunny avalanche: chocolate also boasts positive qualities. It is able to lift our spirits and, in this way, may help fight depression.

At the beginning of the year, new non-fiction books on the subject of bacteria were published, some of them marketed to children.

Helicobacter pylori, the stomach germ covered in a number of articles published on gesunde-bakterien.de, may also cause periodontal disease and gingivitis (gum inflammation). Ten years ago, dental specialists already suspected as much and collected evidence in support. Their findings included the fact many people who suffer from stomach diseases such as gastritis (an inflammation of

As autumn brings cold and damp weather, the flu season is imminent – in addition to the ongoing corona pandemic – and people increasingly inquire about natural ways to prevent colds and infections. Unfortunately and misleadingly, there is still talk of defending yourself against viruses and bacteria. But what many writers forget is that only

More than five million people in Germany have atopic dermatitis, and prevalence has been rising for years. In particular children are affected. Scientists are constantly investigating the causes of this skin disease, and how those who suffer from it may be provided relief or receive treatment. Recent research has primarily focused on two issues: What
The microbiome in our gut plays a key role in our wellbeing. Our general health status, digestive troubles, skin conditions, evidence of autism, diabetes, and age-related diseases – all of this may be connected to the bacterial diversity in our gut (gut flora). In several international research projects, scientists also looked into the issue of how
