TL;DR: Weight-loss diets that were high in protein but reduced in total carbohydrates and fiber resulted in a significant decrease in fecal cancer-protective metabolites and increased concentrations of hazardous metabolites, which may increase risk of colonic disease.

TL;DR: The present position paper is the most recent in a series produced by the International Life Sciences Institute's European Branch and is co-authored by the speakers from a 2013 workshop led by the Obesity and Diabetes Task Force entitled ‘Low-grade inflammation, a high-grade challenge: biomarkers and modulation by dietary strategies’.

TL;DR: The role of the gut microbiota in choline deficiency in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and insulin resistance is receiving increased attention, and the 'gut-liver axis' is an emerging area of study.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that certain microbial species have the ability to ferment all three AAAs and that protein fermentation is the likely source of major phenylpropanoid-derived metabolites in the colon.

TL;DR: The potential of fava bean as a functional food ingredient to partially replace meat in the human diet and can provide a more environmentally friendly substitution for industrial N-fertilizers with associated improvements in resource efficiency and production costs is focused on.
