Bacteria balance by diet (IMAGE)
Caption
The ratio of bad bacteria to good bacteria (Dysbiosis Index value) at baseline and following each test diet in participants at elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. The standard Western diet had the highest dysbiosis index value compared to other diet groups, which indicates a greater number of bad bacteria as compared to good bacteria. WD = whole walnuts, WFMD = matched walnut control diet with the same amount of omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA, and polyunsaturated fatty acids as the walnut diet but without walnuts, ORAD = oleic acid replaces ALA in diet without walnuts.
