The Claim
Butyrate inhibits histone deacetylases and associated signaling pathways in cultured cancer cells, leading to the promotion of cancer cell apoptosis.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
A substance called butyrate can stop certain processes in cancer cells grown in a lab, which makes the cancer cells die off.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Inflammation‐Modulating Effect of Butyrate in the Prevention of Colon Cancer by Dietary Fiber
The study says butyrate does exactly what the claim says—it stops certain enzymes in cancer cells and helps kill them—so it supports the claim.
