I found this snippet very interesting...
------------------------------------------------
Environmental Risk Factors for Crohn's Disease: Maltodextrin (MDX), a
Ubiquitous Dietary Additive in Western Diets, Enhances Biofilm Formation
and Adhesivness of E. coli (Abstract #Tu1844)
Western diets that include significant amounts of the additive
maltodextrin, a filler compound added to the sweeteners Splenda and
Equal, may contribute to an increased susceptibility to Crohn's disease,
according to new research from the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research
Institute, OH. There is a clear link between bacteria and inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD), with previous studies reporting differences in the
types of bacteria and location of bacteria in the intestines of
individuals with Crohn's disease.
Investigators led by Christine McDonald, PhD, assistant staff,
pathobiology department, Lerner Research Institute, looked at how
bacteria were altered by components of the Western diet to better
understand how diet affects bacteria associated with IBD, an area of
research not well understood. They reviewed how certain components of
this diet alter E. coli bacteria to increase their ability to form
biofilms and adhere to intestinal epithelial cells — features associated
with the disease.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
especially this statement...
"how bacteria were altered by components of the Western diet to better
understand how diet affects bacteria associated with IBD, an area of
research not well understood."
Well at least they are finally asking those questions, but good God it
took them long enough.
