First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how changing the amount of cysteine (a building block of protein) in the diet affects gut bacteria and inflammation in Black and White adults aged 45-75 who have had colon polyps. Participants will eat both high-cysteine and low-cysteine diets for three weeks each, and provide blood, stool, and saliva samples. The goal is to understand why colon cancer rates differ between racial groups.
