People spend a lot of time poring over nutrition labels. But a quick gut check shows that the trillions of bacterial cells in our bodies couldn’t care less.

Our personalized diet-microbiome study is out in @cellhostmicrobe ! authors.elsevier.com/a/1ZD53…. TLDR: our microbes care about actual foods, not just the nutrition labels; people's microbiomes respond differently to similar foods. Thanks 2 @AbbyJohnsonRD @GeneralMills, et al.
