Abstract

Deehan et al. show that chemically modified resistant starches with small structural differences induce divergent and highly specific effects on the gut microbiome that direct changes in the output of either propionate or butyrate. Dominant effects were remarkably consistent within treatment groups and dose-dependent with a plateau at 35 g.
