Researchers unlock another finding...certain bacteria in the gut are responsible for breaking down cholesterol and in people who have high cholesterol, these bacteria are either far lower in number than people with normal cholesterol or missing altogether.
Not surprising honestly. Humans have evolved to literally require gut bacteria to help the body do it's job and function properly. Call it "passing off the grunt work" or whatever you want to call it, but that grunt work is vitally important to our overall health and when it's not being done properly, big issues occur...
As we kept finding out, virtually every issue you have health wise can be traced back to poor gut microbiome or lack of proper diversity of the gut microbiome that causes negative consequences over time...
Another study is underway to see if animal models hold true and that leaky gut is the cause of high blood pressure in many people...again, caused by poor gut microbiome health...

Harvard and MIT Scientists Discover Cholesterol-Busting Microbes in the Gut
Research identifies multiple types of bacteria that metabolize cholesterol in individuals with reduced cholesterol levels. Alterations in the gut microbiome are associated with a range of diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease. Now, a team of researchers at th
