Newer studies measure gut bacteria a different way, so we built a calibration step that lines their results up with the older studies we had already checked.

Research notes 6 min readBefore building on public microbiome studies, we checked whether they agree
We checked three large studies of diet and gut bacteria against each other, and where they shared a finding, 89% pointed the same way.
