For those with no attention span, the answer is yes. It seems there is “good bacteria” and “bad bacteria” and as medicine researches this more in-depth, we see that bacterial differences in people’s intestines correlate with diseases like Crohns, MS, and diabetes.
This is a study published in 2022 entitled, “Lactobacillus acidophilus ameliorates obesity in mice through modulation of gut microbiota dysbiosis and intestinal permeability.”
Wow, quite a title — but the data is important. They discuss how obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation in the gut. Different probiotics have beneficial effects, so they decided to look at the anti-obesity and/or weight loss effects of the probiotic lactobacillius acidophilus.
How Did Probiotics Affect Gut Health?
- It reduced body weight and fat mass
- It lowered inflammation
- It reduced insulin resistance in mice with a high-fat diet
- It activated brown adipose tissue (brown fat is thought to better)
- It improved energy, glucose, and lipid metabolism
- It lowered gram negative bacteria, which proudced endotoxins
- It maintains intestinal barrier integrity, reduced metabolic endotoxemia, and inhibited the TLR4/NF-KB signaling pathway
- It improved the gut immune response
- This anti-obesity effect is transmissible via horizontal fecal transfer.
They conclude, “It could be a good candidate for probiotic of ameliorating obesity and associated diseases such as hyperlipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and insulin resistance.”
