Abstract
Fermentation of dietary soluble fibers by our gut microbiota generates short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and metabolites, upholding health and being a valuable food supplement. Recently, in Cell, Singh et al. (2018) discovered that fermentable, dietary soluble fibers (e.g., inulin) induced cholestasis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) while improving metabolic dysfunction.
