Link Between Acute Malnutrition and Gut Microbes Identified
In African children, abnormal bacteria living in the gut are linked to severe malnutrition, say researchers. Within hunger-stricken communities, not all children fare the same. Some develop acute malnutrition, while others, even their brothers and sisters, may stay healthy. And some children respond well to treatment -- generally a peanut-based nutrient-rich supplement -- while for others, the benefits cease when the treatment does. To figure out ...
