Coffee is often recommended not to be consumed in large quantities.

But the latest research shows another characteristic: the daily cup of coffee, far from being a "vice", can become one of the most important allies of the intestinal microbiota, according to "La Repubblica".

Researchers compared the human gut to about 150 foods, looking for the connection between what we eat or drink and the bacterial flora that populates the colon.

The result was surprising: of all the foods, coffee emerged as the product with the strongest link to the composition of the microbiome.

Recent studies have shown that coffee can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.

Furthermore, coffee stimulates the growth of a specific bacteria, Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, which is more abundant in the microbiome of those who drink coffee regularly.

Here are some details:

Prebiotic effect:

Coffee can act as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

Beneficial bacteria:

Studies have shown that coffee can increase the presence of bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are known for their positive effects on the gut and overall health.

Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus: This bacterium, whose growth is stimulated by coffee, appears to be associated with better metabolic health and greater gut microbiome diversity.

Coffee components:

Some components of coffee, such as melanoidins and polyphenols, may play an important role in positively influencing the gut microbiota.

Positive effects:

Coffee consumption may have a positive impact on digestion, contribute to a more diverse gut microbiome, and even have protective effects against certain diseases, such as Type 2 Diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

However, it is important to remember that coffee consumption should be moderate and tailored to individual needs, as in some cases it can irritate the digestive system or alter the microbiome.
