Abstract:
Metabolites are substances that are formed within our bodies that help us live and grow. Examples include glucose and vitamin D. When changes happen in our bodies, like when we get sick, these metabolites can change. By studying metabolite changes, using a method called metabolomics, we can learn a lot about diseases, what causes them, and how to avoid them. We know that eating foods like fish, fruits, and vegetables is healthy. Eating too much red and processed meat, however, increases our chances of developing certain types of cancer. Unfortunately, we still do not understand why that is. It could be that there are unhealthy, toxic elements or substances in the meat itself or that there are toxic metabolites formed during or after the digestion of red and processed meat. To find out, we must journey into the gut, using metabolomics!
