Hva med feks skotske forskere som har funnet ut at lavt innetak av karbohydrater kan føre til tarmkreft??? (Rowett Reasearch Institut)

Noen direkte årsakssammenheng er det vel ikke påvist, i alle fall ikke hvis det er denne undersøkelsen du viser til?

"In this study, 19 healthy, obese men were given three diets containing different levels of carbohydrate (high, medium and low). Two of the diets also contained a high proportion of protein, as this is known to help reduce appetite and is used in a number of diets that help produce weight loss. Indeed, the volunteers lost similar amounts of weight and body fat on these two diets. Stool samples were analysed for the amount and type of bacteria, and for butyrate.
The changes in butyrate production that we observed in this study are the largest ever reported in a human dietary trial. The results provide strong evidence that butyrate production is largely determined by the content of a particular type of carbohydrate in the diet that the bacteria in our guts can utilise,” said Professor Harry Flint who led the research at the Rowett Institute.
We can’t be sure from this study about the impact of butyrate production on gut health, but there has been quite a lot of work done which shows that butyrate stops cancer cells from growing, and so helps prevent colorectal cancer."
