BENEFIT: Beans/Bran Enriching Nutritional Eating For Intestinal Health Trial

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of cooked navy bean powder or rice bran consumption on the stool microbiome and metabolome of colorectal cancer survivors and healthy adults.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Objectives:

  1. To learn about how increased cooked navy bean powders or rice bran dietary intake affect the stool microbiota of colorectal cancer survivors and healthy adults.
  2. To determine whether cooked navy bean powders or rice bran consumption modulate microbial metabolism.
  3. To observe dietary changes in the blood, urine and stool metabolite profiles and inflammatory cytokines.
