Pantry staples could blunt cholera infection, study finds

UC Riverside researchers report that a high-protein diet rich in casein and wheat gluten dramatically lowers cholera bacteria in the gut—up to 100-fold in infected mice—by interfering with the bacteria's toxin-delivery syringe; a promising food-based prevention strategy pending human studies, with potential to reduce antibiotic reliance, though the exact amounts and timing for humans remain unknown.
