Summary

This completed study from the University of Aberdeen looked at how dietary fiber supplements might influence prostate cancer. Researchers gave mice different fibers (inulin, pectin, hemp hull) along with stool samples from healthy men over 60. They then measured changes in gut bacteria and tumor growth. Only 6 volunteers provided samples, and the work was done in mice, not people.
