Abstract
- The author discusses the effectiveness of germinated barley foodstuff (GBF) in colitis-associated colon cancer prevention and treatment. The author denotes how the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can aggravate the risk of acquiring such cancer. The author notes the fermentation of the GBF through gut microbiota and it provokes the growth of prebiotics such as Bifidobacterium, Eubacterium, and Lactobacillus species which can prevent colitis as well as colon cancer.
