☕ Coffee & Gut Microbiome 🦠
🔬 A multi-cohort study (N = 22,867) found a strong link between coffee consumption and the gut bacterium Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus.
🧪 Metabolomics identified key coffee-derived metabolites like quinic acid, hippurate, and trigonelline.
📊 Machine learning (AUC = 0.89) confirmed microbiome composition predicts coffee intake.
🧫 In vitro studies showed coffee stimulates L. asaccharolyticus growth.
⚙️ Findings suggest polyphenols in coffee shape gut microbiota and metabolic pathways.
🚀 Future research aims to explore dose-dependent effects, health benefits, and microbiome-driven nutrition.
