The Industrial Revolution brought about truly great changes to mankind.
After the invention of the steam engine, the development of various engines greatly enriched human life and created a faster and more convenient world.

The mill ceased to be a place of production and became a place for lovers to meet, thanks to the Industrial Revolution, when rice mills were built. Humans gained time and space to make love sweeter, and they were able to eat more delicious bread.

To make bread more delicious, flour must be ground very finely and sugar must be refined in large quantities.
However, refined grains have a low proportion of dietary fiber and are made into foods that are easy to digest, which leads to an oversupply of nutrients, and as a result, phenomena related to the microbiome begin to appear.

Less refined grains require longer digestion time as they contain dietary fiber that is difficult for humans to digest, but refined grains are refined to provide nutrients that are easily absorbed, so they are absorbed immediately and cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels, helping with insulin homeostasis.

Scientists suspect refined grains are the cause of the increase in various adult diseases since the Industrial Revolution.

In those who have diabetes or have a family history of diabetes, or in groups with a high probability of having diabetes, we found a common feature of significantly high concentrations of Prevotella Corpori. This bacterium increases with vegetarianism, and although it is not known whether it is beneficial or harmful depending on the paper, it can be seen as a problem if it is not appropriate.
(Almost all adults with diabetes have very high concentrations of this bacterium.)

If we look closely at the gut microbiome, we may be able to identify people who are more prone to diabetes than others.
And these people can prevent it by just cutting out flour and sugar, but it is difficult to control the temptation from tastes that they have already become familiar with.

Then, how about finding a way to get rid of just that bacteria?
