Probiotics have become increasingly popular as more people learn about the health of their microbiome, the billions of microbes that live inside all of our digestive tracts and elsewhere. Now new research suggests that a diet that includes crickets could feed the beneficial bacteria that help maintain a healthy gut. Crickets may increase enzymes in the stomach that aid metabolism as well as promote good bacteria in the stomach, according to a study published in Scientific Reports, the first clinical trial of its kind.
