Colon cancer rates are rising among individuals under 50 years old, with ongoing research exploring the connection to gut microbes. Dr. Neelendu Dey is investigating how gut microbiomes can be utilized to prevent and treat this cancer. Significant microbial diversity in the colon appears beneficial for overall health and reducing disease risks. Diet and lifestyle choices impact the gut microbiome, with ultra-processed foods and sedentary behavior being harmful. Personalized dietary plans may help prevent precancerous conditions by understanding individual microbial responses.
I don't want to give the message that microbes are the entire thing. But we know that there are significant correlations between how much we have of various microbes and cancer.
Trillions of microbes live in our colon lining, and research suggests the more diverse they are the better our health and the lower our chances of developing diseases including colon and other forms of cancer.
