About

Dr. Vanessa P. Houde is an Assistant Professor at Université Laval in Canada. Her research focuses on microbiota interactions and their impact on health, particularly in relation to obesity, inflammation, and oral microbiology. Recent publications include studies on the modulation of inflammatory activities of Porphyromonas gingivalis and the metabolic effects of dietary substitutions on gut microbiota. Through her work, she aims to unravel the complex relationships between diet, microbiota, and chronic health conditions.

The natural sweetener maple syrup has sparked much interest as an alternative to refined sugars. This study aimed to investigate whether the metabolic benefits of substituting sucrose with an equivalent dose of maple syrup could be linked to changes in gut microbiota composition and digestion of carbohydrates in obese mice. We demonstrated that maple syrup is less detrimental than sucrose on metabolic health and possesses a prebiotic-like activity through novel gut microbiota and liver mechanisms.
