When fed fibre, these gut microbes produce metabolites including butyrate, “the most important of the short-chain fatty acids” says Professor Scott.Butyrate is important, not only because it could prevent the growth of cancer cells, but also because of the role it plays in the communication between the gut and the brain. Propionate, another short-chain fatty acid produced when we eat fibre, plays the really important role of signalling to the brain when you’ve eaten enough.
If fibre is so good for us, and plentiful in many forms from our local supermarkets, how can we be falling so short? Part of the problem is that fibre is stubborn, making it harder for us to eat and to digest – which is precisely why it is so good for us. In 2015 the Scientific Advisory Committeeon Nutrition updated the guidance to recommend a daily fibre intake of 30g. But in the years since it has been identified as vital for health, it has been systematically stripped from our diets, both in the ingredients we use, and the prepared food we eat.
