Key Findings
- The study from Chulalongkorn University focused on the impact of inulin supplementation on gut health in obese children aged 7-15
- Inulin supplementation significantly increased the variety of beneficial gut bacteria, improving overall gut health
- The study found that inulin altered gut bacteria functions, leading to better metabolic outcomes and reduced inflammation in obese children
