Editorial: Xenobiotics from diet and health: impact on microbiome

This Research Topic collects studies that assess the impact of different dietary components on the composition of the gut microbiota. Although sensu stricto the term “xenobiotic” refers to a chemical substance found in an organism that is not naturally produced or expected to be present in that organism, it is also commonly applied to substances with possible toxic or carcinogenic action, such as environmental pollutants or pesticides (1). It has been estimated that humans are exposed to 1–3 million xenobiotics during their lifetime, so this plethora of compounds makes this an attractive and emerging field of study (1).
