Let’s go out and chew on some sticks

This is a fun one.


Your intestinal bacterial profile is one of 3 main types:


Bacteroides (enterotype 1)

Prevotella (enterotype 2)

Ruminococcus (enterotype 3)


They seem to be largely a result of long-term dietary habits, though it’s a hot topic rife with viscous debate. Going with the enterotype idea…. Bacteroides – animal protein. Prevotella – carbohydrates. Ruminococcus – cellulose.


One of the things Ruminococcus produces is Acetate, which seems to be one of those good anti-cancer compounds. That’s why we should go out and chew on sticks.
