00:00Coffee may do more than give you a morning energy boost.
00:02New research suggests it can have a strong influence on the bacteria living in your gut.
00:08Scientists once viewed coffee mainly as a digestive irritant.
00:11But researchers now have a more detailed picture of its effects on the gut microbiome.
00:16In the 2021 PREDICT study, more than 1,000 people were analyzed.
00:21Researchers compared the effects of more than 150 different foods and drinks.
00:25Coffee showed the strongest association with differences in gut microbiomes.
00:30A 2024 study then found a striking difference among coffee drinkers.
00:34One bacterium, Lausonobacter asacarylotycus, was found at least six times more often.
00:41Researchers say coffee polyphenols may help these bacteria produce hippurate.
00:45That compound has previously been proposed as a marker of good gut health.
00:49And the effects may extend beyond digestion.
00:52Scientists are investigating the brain-gut connection.
00:55Recent research suggests coffee's effects on mood and stress may involve more than caffeine alone.
01:01So your daily coffee could be interacting with your gut in ways scientists are only beginning to understand.
