The Importance of Microbiota-Accessible Carbohydrates and Genetics in Diet
48:41 - 58:09 (09:27)
The gut microbiome can adapt to cultural differences in diet and genes play a role in determining which diets are best for different groups. Microbiota-accessible carbohydrates are an important aspect of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber for maintaining a healthy gut.
