Dietary fibre possibly protects against colonic cancer by effects on bile acid metabolism. We investigated the effect of a natural high-fibre diet on secondary bile acid formation. Twelve healthy subjects on an habitual low-fibre diet (for 4 weeks) consumed a high-fibre menu for 10 weeks (experimental group). A control group of 10 subjects consumed their regular high-fibre diet during this period. Faecal and biliary acid composition, faecal weight, faecal pH and gut transit time were studied before and after 6 and 10 weeks of fibre addition. Changes in the experimental group were compared to changes in the control group. The concentration, but not the excretion, of the secondary faecal bile acids was reduced in the experimental group. Faecal weight increased, faecal pH dropped and gut transit time was not altered. The biliary deoxycholic acid content decreased and the cholic acid content increased after 6 weeks, but returned to baseline values after 10 weeks of fibre addition. This study shows that a natural high-fibre diet lowers secondary faecal bile acid concentration through an increase in stool weight. The 7 alpha-dehydroxylation of primary bile acids is probably not or only transiently inhibited.

Background: Understanding the dietary patterns of populations is crucial in addressing chronic health conditions that are influenced by diet and lifestyle. We aimed to identify the dietary patterns among adult Caucasian Canadians and examine their associations with socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors and chronic health conditions.
Methodology: We used two comprehensive national nutrition surveys: Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS)2015 and CCHS Cycle 2.
Association of dietary patterns derived by reduced-rank regression with colorectal cancer risk and mortality.

Purpose: Unhealthy dietary patterns contribute to an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Limited prior research has used reduced rank regression (RRR) to assess dietary patterns relative to CRC risk. This study aimed to identify dietary patterns derived by RRR and assess their associations with CRC risk and mortality.

Background: High-protein diets have been recognized as a potential strategy in the nutritional management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Mycoprotein is a high-fibre, high-protein food ingredient previously shown to improve acute glycaemic control. We determined whether incorporating mycoprotein into a high-protein vegan diet would improve glycaemic control to a greater extent than an isonitrogenous omnivorous diet in people with T2D.

The poultry industry in developing countries is challenged by the high cost of conventional protein and energy feed ingredients. This problem has burdened researchers to use cheap and readily non-conventional feed ingredients such as tropical leaf meals (TLMs) to reduce the cost of feed. Tropical leaf meals are high in nutrients and important bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids and polyphenols.
