In this study, Chinese researchers introduced the gut flora-centric theory (GFCT) and its potential application in food science for the maintenance of human wellness. Their review was published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness.
The researchers believe that modern techniques, such as 16S rRNA sequencing and mass spectrometry, can be used to identify beneficial gut microorganisms, which can guide scientists to a new era of human wellness that’s based on gut microbiota wellness.
