Researchers from the University of Liverpool and other institutions reported in a new issue of the journal gut that fibers extracted from broccoli and plantain can prevent intestinal bacteria from adhering to the intestinal wall and causing diseases, especially help prevent Crohn's disease Crohn's disease and other intestinal diseases are often caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli adhering to the intestinal wall cells and then passing through the protective layer of the intestinal wall In this process, different foods play different roles The researchers analyzed some plants that people often eat, and found that the fiber extracted from broccoli and plantain can significantly reduce the ability of bacteria to attach to the intestinal wall, but the fiber of Apple has no such effect The study also found that polysorbate-80, which is commonly used in food processing, has the opposite effect, greatly enhancing the ability of bacteria to attach to the intestinal wall and cause disease Professor Rhodes, who participated in the study, said that Crohn's disease and other intestinal diseases are more common in developed countries, which may be related to the lack of plant fiber in the diet of people in developed countries and the high proportion of processed food, which reminds people to pay attention to the balance of diet and eat more natural vegetables and fruits such as broccoli and banana.
