Reviewed by Aimee MolineuxDec 25 2022 New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that a portion of the Danish population has a composition of gut microbes that, on average, extracts more energy from food than the microbes in their fellow Danes' guts. The research is a step towards understanding why some people gain more weight than others, even when they eat the same.
Researchers studied the residual energy in the feces of 85 Danes to estimate how effective their gut microbes are at extracting energy from food. At the same time, they mapped the composition of gut microbes for each participant. Genetics & Genomics eBook Compilation of the top interviews, articles, and news in the last year.

The so-called B-type composition is more effective at extracting nutrients from food and was observed in 40 percent of the participants.
