The study, published in Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology, shows that beef can trigger severe intestinal inflammation, while plant-based protein from peas causes only mild symptoms. This is linked to the interplay between the microbiome and bile acids.

A meta-analysis in Cell Metabolism involving over 205,000 participants supports the findings and shows that high consumption of animal protein doubles the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Research into the connections between gut health and overall health is gaining importance. The results could have far-reaching implications for dietary recommendations and the development of personalized therapies.
