Study Summary

This trial studies how fiber and fish oil supplements affect the metabolism and activities of colon cells in healthy individuals. Diet is an important risk factor for colorectal cancer, and several dietary components important in colorectal cancer prevention are modified by gut microbial metabolism. Giving fiber and fish oil supplements may inhibit the growth of gut cells and ultimately reduce risk of colorectal cancer.

Primary Outcome

This grant is an R21 with the intent to provide preliminary data to propose a trial with a larger sample size and adequate statistical power.
