Using the database of food-specific microbes #cFMD, we found that the greatest number of microbes may be derived from dairy, then fruits/veg and finally meat. Since vegans don’t eat dairy, they harbored the fewest food microbes. 7/10

Using gut #microbiome samples from 21k+ people from the UK & US from the ZOE PREDICT cohorts (among the largest with detailed dietary info) plus Italy, we were able to accurately distinguish between omnivores, vegetarians & vegans via machine learning #ML (mean AUC=0.85). 2/10

New platform, new beginnings! Here, we're going to have some fun talking about #science, sharing science news & celebrating scientific contributions! The #microbes in our poo will be center-stage with copious amounts of #microplastics added to the mix 💩 I hope you'll join me on this new adventure!
