First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 11 times
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 a high-fat, animal-based diet and a low-fat, plant-based diet to see which one reduced harmful bacteria and bile acids linked to cancer. The goal was to understand how diet might lower colon cancer risk, not to treat or cure the disease.
