Does coffee drinking time affect gastrointestinal function?
is there any relation between coffee consumption and gut microbiota function?
There are a few published articles. From these and from in house studies it is clear that Caffeine consumption impacts the gut micro biome. A general increase in Bifidobacteria has been found in some studies but some of the results are conflicting,
try the following for starters -also there is some information to be found in the diabetes literature.
