I was privileged to get to sysadmin for a pioneer microbiologist-geneticist whose passion was the microbiome. Not long before I left, I started seeing indicators that the the microbiome(s) in us and that we encounter and how they interact is vastly more important than we have realized. From this biofilms have made advances, etc. With sequencing getting so much cheaper, the research opportunities are just sitting around waiting, and are the kind that offer real and tangible results.

- CuriouslyC 9y agoBeans are the best, as they have the highest percentage of fermentable fiber in the form of raffinose. Pectin in apples, pears and citrus, the beta-glucan in oats and barley, and inulin in alliums, chicory and jerusalem artichoke are all good as well. To get the most benefit, pair your fiber source with a probiotic food. Good examples are unpasteurized sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, kefir, etc.
