AI and gut microbes: A potent combination to prevent colorectal cancer

By examining gut bacteria in stool samples, researchers at the University of Geneva have created a machine learning algorithm that can identify colorectal cancer.

Important observations:

employs particular bacterial subspecies as cancer biomarkers.
offers a non-invasive, low-cost alternative to colonoscopies.
nearly as accurate as a colonoscopy, it reaches a 90% detection rate.
improves knowledge of the role of the gut microbiota in illness.

This discovery has the potential to improve screening accessibility, promote early detection, and save many lives while expanding our understanding of the gut's function in health.

Could the new gold standard for cancer screening be stool-based microbiome testing?

Breakfast cereal: Nutritious food or unspoken danger?
The big cereal debate, are those morning bowls doing us more damage than good? Is broken down in a recent BBC Future feature.
In actuality, not every cereal is made equally. Some are ultra-processed, full of refined grains, added sugar, and artificial tastes, but many are fortified with vital elements like fibre, iron, and B vitamins.

The risks? Sugar spikes, Crashes in energy and Long-term links to chronic conditions
Conversely, whole grain options such as porridge oats, muesli, and low-sugar granola provide superior digestive support, longer-lasting energy, and a lower glycaemic impact, particularly when topped with proteins and healthy fats like nuts, seeds, or yoghurt.

Expert advice: Don't let the box's frontal health claims influence you. Turn it over. Examine the label. Goals should include:
• 6g fibre per 100g
• Real, recognisable ingredients
Simple breakfast adjustments could have a significant impact on mood, blood sugar, and long-term metabolic health.
