flag Bowel cancer rates are rising fastest in Australia among under-50s, prompting research into gut bacteria links with diet and inflammation.

flag Bowel cancer rates are rising among Australians under 50, the highest globally, prompting Queensland researchers to study links with gut microbiome changes. flag The team, led by Associate Professor Jakob Begun, is examining how ultra-processed foods, low fiber, antibiotics, and food additives may alter gut bacteria, trigger inflammation, and increase cancer risk. flag A year-long study involving 20 volunteers tests these factors in preclinical models and explores a potential anti-inflammatory compound for prevention. flag Findings may lead to new screening and prevention strategies for younger populations.
