Summary
This study looks at how bacteria in the gut break down carnitine (found in red meat) and choline (found in eggs), and whether these processes affect heart disease risk. About 100 healthy adults will provide blood samples to measure these substances. The goal is to understand the connection between diet, gut bacteria, and heart health.
