20 Oct 2022 --- Almond consumption can lead to significant butyrate – a form of beneficial short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) – increases and greater stool frequency, resulting in beneficial changes to the gut microbiota’s functionality. This is according to a recent UK-based King’s College London study funded by the Almond Board of California, US. “These findings indicate almonds can be incorporated into the diet of healthy adults to potentially boost the production of an important bacterial metabolite called butyrate,” Dr. Alice Creedon, post-doctoral researcher, Department of Nutritional Sciences at King’s College London, tells NutritionInsight.
