Gut germs may turn your steak into heart risk

NCT ID NCT01731236

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how bacteria in your gut break down certain nutrients from food, like carnitine (found in red meat) and choline (found in eggs). Researchers want to see if these gut bacteria produce substances that raise heart disease risk. About 100 healthy adults will provide blood samples to measure these effects. The goal is to understand the link between diet, gut bacteria, and heart health.
