“…Regarding the health risks, we confirmed an already known association of higher fiber intake with lower BMI (Hadrévi et al 2017 , Ito et al 2023 ). In addition, the study shows that women in the LF intake group have higher uric acid levels compared to the HF intake group.…”

Adequate consumption of fiber has a positive effect on health. The crossover study examined the effect of a pectin-enriched smoothie on gut microbiota and health parameters. During 3 weeks, 31 adults consumed two smoothies (11.6 or 4.8 g of fiber/day) alternating with washout periods in different order. At the end of each period, weekly food diaries, blood samples and stool microbiota were collected. Changes in microbiota during smoothie consumption were associated with baseline fiber intake. A greater proportion of up- (Lachnospira, Colidextribacter, Bacteroides) or down-shifts (Streptococcus, Holdemanella) was observed in low-fiber (n = 22) compared to high-fiber consumers (n = 9). In both groups, the pectin-enriched smoothie reduced the number of the Ruminococcus torques group bacteria. Our results showed that the short-term approach is effective to estimate relationships between food components and gut bacteria.

“…Yellow pea noodle consumption did not significantly affect the average body weight, BMI, or defecation frequency of participants. Several studies have reported the beneficial effects of peas or high‐fiber‐containing foods on weight gain (Abete et al, 2009; Ito et al, 2023; Jarrar et al, 2019; Lambert et al, 2017). No fluctuations in body weight were observed in a trial in which participants with BMIs between 18.5 and 30 consumed a high‐fiber cereal (Jarrar et al, 2019).…”

Legumes contain dietary fiber and resistant starch, which are beneficial to the intestinal environment. Here, we investigated the effects of yellow pea noodle consumption on the gut microbiota and fecal metabolome of healthy individuals. This single-armed pre-post comparative pilot study evaluated eight healthy female participants who consumed yellow pea noodles for 4 weeks. The gut microbiota composition and fecal metabolomic profile of each participant were evaluated before (2 weeks), during (4 weeks), and after (4 weeks) daily yellow pea noodle consumption. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on stool samples, followed by clustering of operational taxonomic units using the Cluster Database at High Identity with Tolerance and integrated QIIME pipeline to elucidate the gut microbiota composition. The fecal metabolites were analyzed using capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Compared to day 0, the relative abundances of five bacterial genera (Bacteroides, Bilophila, Hungatella, Parabacteroides, and Streptococcus) in the intestinal microbiota significantly decreased, wherein those of Bifidobacterium longum and Ruminococcus bromii were increased on day 29 and decreased to the basal level (day 0) on day 57. Fecal metabolomic analysis identified 11 compounds showing significant fluctuations in participants on day 29 compared to day 0. Although the average levels of short-chain fatty acids in participants did not differ significantly on day 29 compared to those on day 0, the levels tended to increase in individual participants with >8% relative abundance of R. bromii in their gut microbiota. In conclusion, incorporating yellow peas as a daily staple may confer human health benefits by favorably altering the intestinal environment.
