New findings connect diet and intestinal bacteria with healthier immune systems

MEDIA RELEASE: 29 Oct 2009
Insoluble dietary fibre, or roughage, not only keeps you regular, there is evidence to suggest it also plays a vital role in keeping many diseases at bay. Published tomorrow in Nature, breakthrough research by a Garvan team describes a mechanism that links diet, gut bacteria and the immune system.
 
 

Clues to how diet might affect the immune system

02 Dec 2006
Garvan scientists are proposing that dietary fats can affect how well our immune system works and have discovered that one of the earliest steps in immune system activation relies on a molecule that binds fats.
