Relandscaping the Gut Microbiota with a Whole Food: Dose-Response Effects to Common Bean.

ABSTRACT: Underconsumption of dietary fiber and the milieu of chemicals with which it is associated is a health concern linked to the increasing global burden of chronic diseases. The benefits of fiber are partially attributed to modulation of the gut microbiota, whose composition and function depend on the amount and quality of microbiota-accessible substrates in the diet. However, not all types of fiber are equally accessible to the gut microbiota. Phaseolus vulgaris L., or common bean, is a food type rich in fiber as well as other prebiotics posing a great potential to positively impact diet-microbiota-host interactions. To elucidate the magnitude of bean's effects on the gut microbiota, increasing doses of common bean were administered in macronutrient-matched diet formulations. The micro
