Age-related heart disease linked to gut bacteria metabolite



It looks like wine and olive oil in moderation are good for you after all. Although, grapes may be healthier. A dangerous  substance called TMAO is made from animal products by your gut flora.


The good news is that TMAO levels may be controllable either through dietary modifications or drugs that disrupt the production of the metabolites in the first place. Backing up prior research findings, the study affirmed dimethyl butanol, a compound found in olive oils and red wine, blocked the gut bacteria production of TMA.
