The human gut microbiome is an essential component of a healthy host. It comprises two major phyla, Bactereriodetes and Firmicutes, each with important functions. The human gut microbiome includes many different bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses, and protozoans. A healthy gut microbiome can help to live a long healthy life, but new studies are showing that consumption of many sweeteners, like sucrose and glucose-fructose syrups, can lead to effects on the once healthy gut.
