Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how eating palm dates, which are rich in polyphenols and fiber, affects gut bacteria growth, stool health, and markers related to colon cancer risk.
  • Results showed that while date consumption didn't significantly change the overall growth of gut bacteria or short-chain fatty acid levels, it did increase bowel movements and stool frequency, and reduced stool ammonia levels, which are beneficial for colon health.
  • Importantly, eating dates decreased the genotoxicity (damage to DNA) in fecal water, suggesting a potential role in lowering colon cancer risk, even without major changes in microbiota composition.]
