Can We Eat Our Way To A Healthier Microbiome? It's Complicated
Whole grains are another good source of fiber — but evaluating its benefits is a bit trickier. Whole grain consumption seems to be associated with high levels of a type of bacteria prevotella, Leach says. "Prevotella has been associated with inflammation in HIV patients [and] it's been associated with rheumatoid arthritis." We don't know why that is, Leach says. "So the jury's still out on whole grains."
