Antibiotic treatments help the body to fight infections and should have as little negative impact on humans as possible. A new study in the journal Nature Medicine shows that the use of antibiotics can affect the human gut microbiota for several years. The study found that some types of antibiotics had a greater impact on the gut microbiota than others. “It is great that we have antibiotics which

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure.  Previous research has shown that the majority
