Study finds high-fiber diets boost good gut bacteria, fighting harmful strains like E. coli.

A study shows that a diet high in fiber can help protect against harmful gut bacteria like E. coli by promoting beneficial bacteria growth. Analyzing over 12,000 people’s gut microbiomes from 45 countries, researchers found that certain bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids that inhibit harmful bacteria. This suggests that dietary changes could prevent infections without antibiotics, though further research is needed to understand these interactions better.
