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.
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Otago has found that wheat gluten can induce brain inflammation in mice, specifically in the hypothalamic region of the brain, which plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism. While previous research has shown the effects of gluten on weight gain and inflammation in the digestive system, this study highlights its impact on the brain. The findings raise concerns about potential long-term effects on humans, such as weight gain, blood sugar regulation issues, and impaired memory. However, further research is needed to determine if these findings are applicable to humans and if they have implications for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
