Annotated Bibliography

This article talks about the many benefits of the bacteria, probiotics, and the ways in which we can introduce them into our system using our diet. Probiotics can be found in different foods depending on which country you are living in. They can help with things in the body from digestion, to cancer, to dental cavities.
This article has been peer reviewed and uses credible sources spanning numerous years and medical backgrounds.
This source is an excellent in-depth look into probiotics, what they do for us, and how we can fit them into our lives through our diet. This will assist me in talking about prebiotics as related to human health in my paper.
Dasriya, V. L., Samtiya, M., Ranveer, S., Dhillon, H. S., Devi, N., Sharma, V., … & Puniya, A. K. (2024). Modulation of gut‐microbiota through probiotics and dietary interventions to improve host health. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 104(11), 6359-6375.
This article educates on probiotics and how they, through diet, regulate gut microbiota in our bodies. There are probiotics that occur in nature that we can consume in the foods we eat as well as ones that are genetically modified and can be given in injection form.
This article is peer reviewed and has been published in many notable journals in the health and science world. Recent, credible sources were used by the authors leading me to trust the information they provided.
This will be a helpful article to my paper as it talks directly about the connection of probiotics and gut microbiota. It also speaks further on the health benefits of consuming probiotics regularly.

This article talks about the gut’s effect on the rest of the body and how pre and probiotics tie into that. Our microbiota contains both pathogenic as well as beneficial components and it’s important that we understand the differences. Dietary intervention can help to balance out the gut and therefore the rest of the body.
This is a peer reviewed article that was first published by Cambridge University Press. The authors used many credible sources while putting together this article.
I like that this article talks about the good and the bad that we have growing on our gut. I think this will be good information to round out my paper about diet and pre/probiotics and the effect on gut health.

This article talks about both prebiotics and probiotics and the effects that they have on the human body via our diets. Gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem that is unique to each person but can be changed by altering our diets. The changes and effects can be both short term and long-term depending on a person’s desired outcomes for their gut health.
This was first published in 2019 and has been peer reviewed. They have over 100 credible sources listed and really included a lot more in-depth facts than some of the other articles.
This article will be a helpful one as it encompasses both prebiotics and probiotics and their relation to gut microbiota. I’ll be able to get some solid facts and statistics from this source that I may not be able to get from the others.

This article gets into the interactions between metabolism and the microbiota of the gut. The microbiota and the host feed off of each other and help one another. Variations in populations can shape what’s going on in the gut and in turn shapes our development.
This article has been peer reviewed and incorporates many notable sources. I find it to be a trustworthy source.
I like how this article talks about how pre/probiotics are mutually beneficial and form a relationship with the body. It brings the metabolism and that relationship into play as well. That’s another perspective that will be helpful to my paper that the other articles didn’t include.
