    The document discusses how different types of bacteria live in the human digestive system and are affected by long term diet, with one type preferring a Western diet high in meat and fat and another preferring a farm-based diet of fruits and vegetables. Studies show that too much of the bacteria caused by a high-fat diet can cause inflammation in the body, so doctors recommend reducing fat intake and eating more plants to prevent this.

    Read this passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

    Bacteria and What You Eat

    It’s living in your stomach. It eats what you eat. And now research shows it likes the foods you
    like. What is it? Bacteria. Your digestive system—the system that breaks down food so that it
    can be used by the body—is filled with bacteria. Not all bacteria are the same. A new study from
    the journal Science shows that there are two main groups. One group of bacteria exists on a
    Western-style diet, which is based on meat and fat. Another group lives mainly on an agrarian
    diet, or farm-based diet, which is made up of mostly fruits and vegetables. The types of food you
    eat change the environment in your gut. The effect is that the environment is only good for some
    bacteria. Scientists found that the bacteria are based on your long-term diet. In order to change
    the bacteria, you would need to change the types of food you eat not just at some meals, but over
    your lifetime.

    Scientists are now beginning to study the effects of different bacteria. They found that too much
    of the bacteria caused by high-fat foods can be harmful. It can cause inflammation, or swelling
    and pain, in the body. To prevent this kind of pain, some doctors recommend changing what you
    eat. They tell people to stay away from foods high in fat. They also encourage people to eat more
    fruits and vegetables.
