Are you a doctor or a microbiologist? Your explanations are really detailed!
I've been reading about gut health affecting our happiness or mental health. I have never paid attention or cared in the past about the types of food that I should eat to help my gut but now, I've been trying to incorporate yogurt into my diet to get those probiotics. It's a bit expensive here though. I know I could make my own. Way back in college, we were able to make yogurt for school. I'm just a bit scared of how sterile our house is for yogurt making. Maybe I'll just have a go at it.

Thank you for your comment @glecerioberto. The study of research papers on this matter has been fascinating me since 2014. I got inspired by a computational biologist, interested in the microbiome and environmental microbiology who goes by the name of Rob Knight. Always enjoyed biology when I grew up, and these writings help me to better understand these processes. This is an accumulation of my recent findings derived from various research papers found on US national library of medicine, the national library for biotechnology information and frontiers in microbiology. Apart from the many separate studies I make connections from various research papers to write these original publications. I also cited a few relevant articles in some links. Mushrooms and their effect on the gut microbiome and a short chain fatty acid metabolite called butyrate is really interesting and something you might enjoy looking up. I'd like to write much more on that matter as well. I often tried to tie these relationship into my mushroom protocol posts. I guess it just makes this a really odd cooking book?
Thanks
Oh. Mushrooms. That's why.
Butyrate reminds me of butyric acid which brings up not-so-good (smelling) memories from our chemistry classes. 😅
It seems to have a lot of health benefits and can be obtained from food with prebiotics and dietary fibers. I'll read more on it. I find it quite interesting.
