#Prebiotics are nutrients that nurture healthy gut bacteria by providing food and a generally conducive setting, allowing probiotics to function optimally.  Fiber and naturally occurring sugar are the specific nutrients with a prebiotic effect and they are found abundantly in plant wholefoods.

The population of healthy gut bacteria is determined by the quantity of prebiotics in a diet.  Therefore, high intake of plant wholefoods is required to support a large population of healthy gut bacteria.  A diet low in plant wholefoods can only support a very small population of healthy gut bacteria, leading to overgrowth of harmful bacteria and consequently a leaky gut.  This condition contributes immensely to systemic #inflammation and insulin resistance.
