Gut Bacteria May Point to Early Detection of Colon Cancer
“New research (from University of Washington School of Medicine) suggests that the presence of certain bacteria in a gut biome may be an indicator of colon polyps that will become […]
Gut Microbiota Imbalance Promotes Onset of Colorectal Cancer
“A link between fecal dysbiosis (an imbalance in gut bacteria composition) and the genetic and epigenetic DNA signature in the animals’ tissues was identified using statistical tests. Mice who had […]
Frying oil consumption worsened colon cancer and colitis in mice
“Food scientists have shown that feeding frying oil to mice exaggerated colonic inflammation, enhanced tumor growth and worsened gut leakage, spreading bacteria or toxic bacterial products into the bloodstream.”
Antimicrobial Triclosan Changes Microbiota
“Studies in mice by a team of scientists in the U.S. and China have now linked short-term dietary exposure to triclosan with altered gut microbiota, colonic inflammation, worsening colitis, and […]
Whole food diet may help prevent colon cancer, other chronic conditions
“A diet that includes plenty of colorful vegetables and fruits may contain compounds that can stop colon cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases in pigs, according to an international team of […]
Antibiotic ‘link to bowel cancer precursor’
“People who take antibiotics for a long time are more likely to develop growths on the bowel which can be a precursor to cancer, a study suggests.”
Study tightens connection between gut microbes, diet, and colorectal cancer
“These data are among the first in humans that show a connection between long-term dietary intake and the bacteria in tumor tissue. This supports earlier studies that show some gut […]
Common food additive promotes colon cancer in mice
“Emulsifiers, which are added to most processed foods to aid texture and extend shelf life, can alter intestinal bacteria in a manner that promotes intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer, according […]
Role of the Microbiota in Colorectal Cancer
“In this review, the authors assess new evidence linking the community structure or specific bacterial factors of the intestinal microbiota to CRC development and progression, with insights into therapeutic implications. […]
