Summary
This study looked at how different diets affect gut bacteria and markers of colon cancer risk in 15 African American adults at higher risk for the disease. Participants ate both an animal-based diet high in fat and a plant-based diet low in fat to see changes in bacteria and bile acids. The goal was to understand the link between diet, gut bacteria, and cancer risk, not to test a treatment.
