Do you drink coffee? Ask your gut

People who drink at least three cups of coffee a day have different gut bacteria compared with those who rarely or never drink coffee. Paolo Manghi, then at the University of Trento in Italy, and his colleagues studied the dietary habits and genomic sequences of gut microorganisms in nearly 23,000 people in the United States and the United Kingdom, and found 115 bacteria species associated with heavy coffee drinking.
