Cancer: probiotics, a potential help?

Cancer is a real curse on a person's life and a constant battle. There are many victims: those affected by the pathology but also collateral victims. In order to cure them, therapeutic aids are applied. However, these can sometimes cause significant undesirable effects, making the life of patients even less pleasant. Strategies are then developed to improve their comfort. Could probiotics be one of them? Cancer: when the cells go wild Cancer is a scourge that continues to grow in our society. According to the WHO, nearly 10 million deaths are expected in 2020 (which is close to one in six), [...]

Tea: What effects on the intestinal microbiota?

2022-11-10T11:13:17+01:0011 November 2022|That's your concern, The Science|Comments Off on Tea: What effects on the intestinal microbiota?

Does tea have the same impact on the gut microbiota as coffee? This is what a review recently published in Nutrients shows.   Tea, a drink with multiple benefits Along with water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world and has been for thousands of years. Whether green, black, white, or yellow, it is appreciated for its aromatic, taste, and thirst-quenching qualities. A plethora of scientific studies highlight its benefits, particularly for metabolic and cardiovascular health. And this is thanks to its richness in beneficial molecules, such as polyphenols. But its benefits seem to go beyond these two [...]

Does the microbiota dictate our alcohol consumption?

Alcohol is part of many social events: there is often a good reason to drink! However, it seems that we are not all equal in terms of its effects... And we will not develop the same disorders either. And this would depend in part on the composition of the intestinal microbiota. At least that is what a recent study has revealed. Clinical trial points to role of microbiota in alcohol consumption A team of researchers from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid has investigated the role that the gut microbiota could potentially play in alcohol consumption. For this purpose, 507 students participated [...]

2022-07-11T11:03:34+02:0008 July 2022|That's your concern, The Science|Comments Off on Fecal transplantation: a rejuvenating cure for ageing?

More and more scientific papers are highlighting the health benefits of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). The administration of stool from a healthy individual into the digestive tract of a person with a pathology related to the gut microbiota has shown very interesting results. It is even recognised as a treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. But did you know that it offers hope for limiting the effects of ageing?   Eternal youth has always fascinated humanity. In a society where we are gaining years of life thanks to medical progress, aging without looking old or being sick is the quest of [...]
