University of Reading study links cheese microbes to gut health

A study conducted by scientists at the University of Reading has found that microbes in various cheeses may provide significant benefits for gut health. By tracking microbial and biochemical changes during the maturation of three different cheeses, researchers observed that bacteria responsible for unique flavor profiles may produce compounds linked to appetite control, cholesterol regulation, and reduced inflammation.

Clinical nutritionist Stephanie Moore suggests that cheese may function as a carrier and protector for beneficial bacteria. Specifically, the Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus families of microbes found in certain cheeses are thought to exert a positive influence as they pass through the digestive system. The specific microbial makeup of a cheese is determined by the initial inoculation of milk with moulds, yeasts, or bacteria, as well as the aging environment and storage methods used during fermentation.
