Scientists uncover how your gut transforms superfoods into cancer fighters
NCT ID NCT07591961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how bacteria in our gut change foods like leafy greens, berries, oats, and plant proteins into substances that might help prevent cancer. Seven healthy adults ate a diet rich in these foods, and researchers measured the compounds produced in their stool, blood, and urine. The goal was to identify which bacteria are responsible for making these potentially protective compounds.
