High-Protein Diet Shields Against Cholera

0:00It's April 9th, TVB news today starts now, AI-powered and ready. New research from UC Riverside shows a high-protein diet might shield you from cholera by slashing the bacteria's power to infect your gut. They focused on proteins like casing from milk and cheese plus wheat gloom, which cut infection levels big time in tests. Scientists fit mice different diets, high-protein carbs were fat, and tracked cholera takeover. Fat diets did almost nothing. Carbs had mild effects, but those proteins nearly stopped the bacteria cold. Lead researcher Ansel Shaw was shocked by the result, noting up to a 100-fold drop in colonization just from diet chips. Cholera still hits hard in places like Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, causing deadly diarrhea without clean water or quick rehydration. Digging deeper, they found these proteins mess with the bacteria's tiny syringe tool, of the Type-6 secretion system, blocking toxin injections, and microbatax in the gut.
