Blood Sugar Regulation: Bitter melon has been studied for its potential to lower blood sugar levels and improve glucose tolerance, making it beneficial for individuals with diabetes or prediabetes. It contains compounds such as charantin, polypeptide-p, and vicine, which may help increase insulin sensitivity, promote glucose uptake by cells, and inhibit glucose absorption in the intestines.
Weight Management: Bitter melon may aid in weight management and obesity prevention. It is low in calories and carbohydrates while being rich in fiber, which can help promote satiety, reduce appetite, and regulate blood sugar levels. Bitter melon may also help inhibit the accumulation of fat in the body and promote fat breakdown.
Cholesterol Reduction: Some studies suggest that bitter melon may help lower cholesterol levels, particularly LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol), and triglycerides. It may help inhibit cholesterol synthesis in the liver and increase the excretion of cholesterol in the bile, leading to improvements in lipid profiles and cardiovascular health.
Antioxidant Protection: Bitter melon is rich in antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. Antioxidants may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Digestive Health: Bitter melon has been traditionally used to promote digestive health and alleviate symptoms of indigestion, constipation, and abdominal discomfort. It may help stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, improve digestion, and support overall gastrointestinal wellness.
Immune Support: Bitter melon contains compounds with immunomodulatory properties, which may help strengthen the immune system and enhance its ability to fight infections and diseases. It may help boost immune function and reduce the risk of infections such as colds, flu, and respiratory infections.
Anti-inflammatory Effects: Bitter melon has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory effects, which may help reduce inflammation in the body and alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, rheumatism, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
