> Conclusions: Maintaining a strict vegan or vegetarian diet results in a significant shift in the microbiota while total cell numbers remain unaltered. Studies should almost never use the term "vegan diet" to arrive at any conclusions. A vegan diet can be potato chips and oreos, whole foods high carb, whole foods high fat, 100% raw, etc. I assume most of them would produce significantly different results.
