  • Summary

  • In this episode of Daily Value, we take a look at how fiber fuels anti-cancer gene activity - emphasizing the role of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced during fiber fermentation. Drawing on new research PMID: 39789354) published in Nature Metabolism out of Stanford Medicine, we examine how fiber-derived metabolites influence gene activity to reduce cancer risk and promote overall health.

    Discussion Points:

    • The epigenetic role of SCFAs, such as butyrate and propionate, in activating anti-cancer genes and inhibiting harmful pathways.
    • Insights from recent studies, including findings showing a 10% reduction in colorectal cancer risk for every 10-gram increase in daily fiber intake.
    • Practical strategies to optimize fiber consumption, including food sources and supplementation options tailored for individual needs.
