Plant-Rich Diet May Protect Against Foodborne Illness. According to a new study, when mice are fed a plant-rich diet, they are less susceptible to gastrointestinal infection from bacteria such as E. coli. Researchers explain that plant-rich diets are high in pectin, a gel-like substance found in fruits and vegetables that is converted into galacturonic acid in the stomach, which has been found to inhibit the virulence of pathogenic bacteria.
