However, given that there are over 1,000 species of bacteria in a human gut at any given time, the diversity and amount of these microorganisms depend on a person’s diet.

“Most of the microorganisms in our intestines are considered good bacteria that promote health, but an imbalance of those bacteria can be toxic to a person’s immune system and linked to various diseases, such as depression, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease,” said UNLV research professor Jingchun Chen.

For reference, two Medjool dates have 36 grams and one 5-inch sweet potato has 26 grams.
