Switch people between a whole food plant-based diet and more of an animal food-based diet, and you can see dramatic shifts within the microbiome just in two days. Switching to an animal food-based diet can result in toxic metabolites, such as an increase in levels of deoxycholic acid, which can promote DNA damage and liver cancers. Why do levels of deoxycholic acid go up? Because the bad bacteria producing the stuff triple—in just two days of switching to an animal food-based diet.
A high-fiber diet (over 50 grams per day) is beneficial not just for our gut health, but for chronic disease prevention. When our friendly gut flora ferment fiber, they produce beneficial compounds like butyrate, which is anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer.
