Re: Gut microbes linked to fatty diet drive tumour growth
 

The studies show that it’s not just the fat itself, but how it changes your gut microbiota that can accelerate tumor growth. Basically, a high-fat diet alters the microbial balance in a way that ramps up leucine production, which then fuels a specific type of immune cell (PMN-MDSCs) that suppresses the body’s ability to fight off tumors
