Diets rich in refined fiber may increase liver cancer risk in some individuals

Research has found diets rich in highly refined fiber like inulin may increase the risk of liver cancer, particularly in individuals who have a vascular deformity in which blood from the intestines bypasses the liver. The discovery could help clinicians identify people who are at higher risk of liver cancer years in advance of any tumors forming and potentially enable individuals to reduce that risk through simple dietary modifications.
