Dietary fibers protection against colon cancer

Dietary fiber has been suggested to play a protective role against chemically-induced toxicity (1) and against colon cancer (2). However, the mechanism(s) by which dietary fiber modulates chemical toxicity or colon cancer has not been well studied. The fiber fraction of the diet is resistant to mammalian digestive enzymes and consequently dietary fiber is not absorbed from the small intestine (3). However, certain types of dietary fiber specifically fermentable fibers, including the pectic substances and hemicelluloses, are readily digested by the intestinal microflora (4,5). Pectic... [Pg.44]
