Several chronic diseases such as obesity and heart disease are negatively affected by a diet rich in fats. Within the group of fats, trans fats in particular (which are mainly found in products such as biscuits, chips, pizzas, sweets, chips, etc.) are harmful to health.

A recent study has shown that a specific gut bacteria called Fusimonas intestini is able to produce harmful trans fats when exposed to fats.

In addition, it also ensures that the intestines become more permeable. This leads to the creation of a “leaky gut”. This ultimately creates a picture of low-grade inflammation in the body, which in turn can exacerbate obesity and related conditions.

It was also concluded that people with obesity have significantly more Fusimonas intestini living in the gut.

A good intestinal flora is therefore essential for a healthy lifestyle.
