\"Dietary **fibre** has ***physical effects on transit time of food through the gut and alters stool bulk and consistency***. Recent research in humans indicates that fermentation of some types of dietary fibre by bacteria in the large intestine supplies nutrients, particularly the short chain fatty acid butyrate, to the cells which line the large intestine (colonocytes). Butyrate is a particularly valuable energy source for cells of the large intestine, and has also been shown to protect against some forms of cancer\"
