I am pasting in a part of the text below. Def worth a read.
Analyzing the mice’s poop samples surprised the researchers, who published their results today in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Most surprisingly, less vitamin A meant more of one bacterium, called Bacteroides vulgatus, and vice versa. In a past study, scientists transplanted a healthy microbiome including this bacteria into malnourished mice, and it helped the mice grow more. As a result, researchers have tried to come up with ways to increase B. vulgatus abundance in malnourished patients. But that’s going to be hard to do if vitamin A simultaneously decreases the abundance of B. vulgatus.
