A new study dedicated to mapping out gut diversity and microbiome says that drinking red wine and eating dark chocolate can be good for the health.

Our stomach is made up of millions of bacteria. These microorganisms play various roles in our body including but not limited to digestion of food and possibly formation of diseases. Scientists are trying to understand the mysterious realm of our guts by analyzing our gut biodiversity. New studies show that drinking red wine and dark chocolate may be good for our guts and overall health.

Belgium and Netherlands researchers analyzed fecal samples from thousands of volunteers to study the human stomach microbiome and gut biodiversity. They found that certain foods like dark chocolate, red wine and coffee are good for the gut as it increases the diversity of bacteria living there.

Leave it to the Brussels Sprouts to voluntarily play with crap. Fact is that the key to perfect gut health is a diet rich in scotch and Velamints.
