What Your Poop Says About Your Health | ASU KEDtalks®️ featuring Meli'sa Crawford
Channel: Arizona State University Research
Date: 2019-04-10

For Meli'sa Crawford, talking about poop isn’t gross or impolite — it’s an important part of a day’s work. Crawford is a PhD candidate at Arizona State University who studies poop to learn how a high-fat diet can alter your microbiome, or gut bacteria. She also explores how gut bacteria affect your health.
 
High fat diets are common in low-income food deserts, areas where grocery stores are scarce and fast food is cheap and plentiful. As she learns more about the relationship between diet and gastrointestinal (GI) health, Crawford hopes one day to improve food quality in underprivileged areas.
