For the role of the animal protein, please see my previous video: Putrefying Protein and “Toxifying” Enzymes (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/putrefying-protein-and-toxifying-enzymes).

Those secondary bile acids are what I talk about in my video on Breast Cancer and Constipation (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-and-constipation). This could help explain why fiber may be so protective (Fiber vs. Breast Cancer: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fiber-vs-breast-cancer).

I’ve got lots of videos on the microbiome now. You can find them on the playlists: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5TLzNi5fYd9bVwe5wDtBA3miV7rsANY0
