Is there a link between our gut and mental health? – CrowdScience podcast, BBC World Service


“You are what you eat” is a well-known saying. But is it really true? That’s what we explore in this episode of CrowdScience, thanks to a question from listener Claire from Australia.

  1. Of course food can affect our brains. The brain is one part of the organs of our body, just like the others, it has its own functions. Also like other organs of our body, so if the food we digested can make an effect on all those parts of our body, why can't it affect our brain?

    And please do understand, food can affect our brains in a fundamental way, but it can never calls some mental illness in your mind, unless you think they do.

  2. What a stupid title! BBC should be the first there to advocate for a total ban of ultra-processes foods, glucose syrup, trans fats, inflammatory foods like plant oils, anything with added sugar and all the ultra-processed vegan nonsence

  3. Last night I had way too much sugar and had constant nightmares (I don’t have nightmares often) and was thinking there might be a relationship and this morning I am seeing this- woow- Thank you

  4. netanyahu is the modern Hitler. What's the similarity and difference you ask? Hitler (a german) and netanyahu are similar in their plan to eradicate a population, intended to conquer Europe for the benefit of the so-called Aryan race. Nazi military forces rounded up and executed millions of victims they deemed "inferior or undesirable".  The BIG difference is that Hitler fought with the Allied forces, troops. On the other hand netanyahu together with Israeli forces planned to annihilate Palestinian people (so called Gaza) by committing genocide, massacred thousands of innocent lives—“life unworthy of life”, just as Hitler said in WW2.  The extreme irony is the germans are supplying netanyahu with armaments to kill Palestinians, the same german blood who executed millions of Jews just a few decades ago.  The jewish people, lead by netanyahu, are committing the same crime that destroyed the world in the 1940s through World War II. GOD BLESS US ALL.

  5. Dear team BBC, you people have beautifully explained the link between brain and gut health. The people who create awareness about health issues are angels of god. May god blossom your consciousness

  6. Do you know how many men dress up as women and wear skirts on the Internet? Ignorance is a very sad thing! You can't tell a summer bugs what ice is! Today the whole world has witnessed the ignorance of the Chinese government!

  7. Yes, there's a huge relationship between gut health, gut bacteria, and mental health, to the point that the neural network in our gut has been deemed a sort of second brain. Mind what you eat, seriously.
