People sign on to diets for all types of reasons, whether it’s part of a weight loss journey or trying to reduce their risk of heart disease. However, not all dietary changes lead to positive outcomes. Case in point: A new study highlights how popular low-carb diets could increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer.
RELATED: This Common Vitamin Can Reduce Colon Cancer Risk By 17%, New Research Shows.
The latest insight comes from a study published this month in the journal Nature Microbiology conducted by scientists at the University of Toronto. The research team set out to better understand the connection between the gut microbiome, diet, and colorectal cancer. Specifically, they examined how three different strains of potentially harmful bacteria were affected by different diets.
"Colorectal cancer has always been thought of as being caused by a number of different factors including diet, gut microbiome, environment, and genetics," Alberto Martin, PhD, a professor of immunology at the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine and the study’s senior author, said in a press release.
To test their hypothesis, the scientists used three groups of mice with the bacterial strains in question. One group was fed a normal diet, while the others were fed either a low-carb diet or a "Western-style" diet high in fats and sugars.
Of all the groups, mice on the low-carb diet developed more colon polyps and were the only ones to develop colorectal cancer during the trial. The research team explained that the low-carb diet coincided with a drop in fiber, which drove up inflammation in the gut and created optimal conditions for the harmful E. coli strain NC101 to grow. This particular strain produces a DNA-damaging toxin known as colibactin.
On a deeper level, mice on the low-carb diet were found to have thinner protective mucus membranes that typically separate microbes in the gut from the colon.
Scientists also noted that mice infected with a mutated strain of NC101 that didn’t create colibactin saw the increased cancer risk drop.

In light of the findings, the scientists want to expand their research to cover Lynch syndrome—a genetic mutation that greatly increases the risk of colorectal and other cancers—and how such microbes affect people with the condition. This includes investigating probiotics that contain other colibactin-producing bacteria that could be particularly problematic for such patients.
The next steps likely involve exploring how addressing the fiber issue could help offset the increased cancer risk.
"We supplemented fiber and saw that it reduced the effects of the low-carb diet," Bhupesh Thakur, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto and lead researcher on the study, said in a press release. "Now we are trying to find out which fiber sources are more beneficial and which are less beneficial."

A new study established a link between low-carb diets and an increased risk of colorectal cancer in mice. Specifically, researchers found that mice who were fed a low-carb diet developed cancerous polyps more than mice fed normal diets.
A lack in fiber that accompanied the low-carb diet potentially contributed to increased inflammation and created ideal conditions for a damaging strain of E. coli, as well as decreased thickness of a protective mucus membrane on the colon.
The research team is now planning on expanding on their findings with additional studies.
"Our study highlights the potential dangers associated with long-term use of a low-carb, low-fiber diet, which is a common weight-reducing diet," Martin said in the press release. "More work is needed, but we hope that it at least raises awareness."
TRIBUTES have been paid to a Rangers supporter who tragically died after a road smash in Turkey.
Christopher Potter travelled to Istanbul with thousands of fellow fans to watch tonight’s Europa League showdown against Fenerbahce.
However the beloved dad and husband’s trip was cut short after he was killed in a “road traffic accident”.
A Rangers spokesman said: “We are devastated to have learned of the passing of one of our supporters in a road traffic accident overnight in Istanbul.
“The immediate thoughts of everyone at the club are with their family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
“We are remaining in constant contact with both the Turkish and British authorities over this tragic incident.”
Elsewhere scores of tributes have flooded in for the tragic fan who was hailed as the “nicest guy”.
One well-wisher wrote: “Absolutely heartbreaking, rest easy uncle.”
Another added: “Christopher was one of life’s good guys who will be sadly missed by all.”
A third commented: “Honestly one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, you’ll be sadly missed by so many.”
TWO schoolboys had to be rushed to hospital after taking one draw of a vape believed to have been laced with spice.
The lads are understood to have used the vape at a school in Dalkeith, Midlothian, on Tuesday.
But they became violently unwell within minutes, unaware they had just taken the dangerous substance.
It is believed the pair also began slipping in and out of consciousness.
Police and two ambulances were sent to the school and the boys were raced to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
It is understood they had to undergo a range of tests and had their heart rate and blood checked.
Cops have confirmed they are probing the incident.
Spice is the street name for synthetic cannabinoids which is a lab-made drugs which is more harmful than cannabis with much more unpredictable impacts.
It can be made into a liquid which is put into vape pens and smoked.
But it can also be produced into a powder and dissolved before being sprayed onto paper or as a dried plant.
And the harmful drug can have deadly effects.
People who get high on spice can be hit with an inability to move and dizziness. It can also become difficult for them to breathe.
They can also suffer chest pain, heart palpitations or even a seizure.
Spice can also cause users to suffer kidney damage.
It also has extreme mental health impacts, such as psychosis, paranoia and extreme anxiety.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 12.30pm on Tuesday, 4 March, 2025, police were made aware two boys were taken to hospital after inhaling an illegal vape containing an unknown substance in Dalkeith.
“Both boys have since been released and enquiries into the incident are ongoing.”
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received a call at 11:24 on Tuesday 4 March to attend an incident in Dalkeith.
“We dispatched two ambulances to the scene and two patients were transported to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.”
A Midlothian Council spokesman said: “We can confirm two pupils became unwell at on Tuesday.
“Both pupils were taken to hospital and later released. The school is supporting the pupils and their families while Police Scotland investigate.
“Schools across Midlothian, will be reminding pupils of the dangers of substance misuse and vaping, which are banned across the school estate.
“If families or anyone is concerned about underage vaping or substance abuse then get medical help immediately if the young person is unwell and call Police Scotland.
“For ongoing support, schools liaise with services including the council’s educational psychology team and MYPAS, which offers health and wellbeing support services for young people.
“Parents who are worried about their children’s vaping can also contact MYPAS for information and support directly. They can be contacted by calling 0131 454 0757.”

11th v 10th makes this the very definition of a mid-table clash.
Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash all scored in a first-half blitz against the Bees at Villa Park back in December but the Villains have struggled with European hangovers this season.
Unai Emery’s men have failed to win seven of their eight league games immediately following a Champions League fixture in 2024/25, losing four times.
And so Saturday’s trip to the Gtech has to be considered a potential banana skin with Villa having played against Club Brugge in Belgium on Tuesday night.
Thomas Frank’s side have scored the most home goals in the top flight this campaign while only four teams have earned fewer points on the road than Villa.
Our Prediction: 3-1 to Brentford
Vitor Pereira will be without talisman Matheus Cunha on Saturday afternoon after the Brazilian saw red in the FA Cup fifth round.
The absence of their No10 is likely to hinder the hosts significantly as he is essentially a one-man army in attack.
The Toffees are just one place higher in the table but the gap is now ten points after a run of seven games unbeaten in the league.
Such has been the dramatic improvement since David Moyes’ return to Merseyside, only league-leaders Liverpool have earned more points than Everton from their last six outings.
Our Prediction: 2-0 to Everton
Spurs will be fully focused on tonight’s game against AZ Alkmaar as the Europa League represents their last hope for a trophy this season.
And with an injury list still too long for Ange Postecoglou’s liking, the North Londoners may not be adequately prepared for the visit of the Cherries on Sunday.
Andoni Iraola’s troops suffered defeats to Wolves and Brighton at the end of February but they still have their sights firmly set on European qualification.
Bournemouth pack a punch going forward with Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo full of confidence of late.
They’ve also earned five more points on the road than Spurs have gained on home soil.
Our Prediction: 3-2 to Bournemouth
With several first-choice attackers sidelined, the Gunners failed to score against West Ham or Nottingham Forest in their last two league outings but a seven-goal demolition of PSV in the Champions League has changed the outlook in that regard.
And it’s not as if the Red Devils are impervious in their current state; the only clean sheet in their last 14 league games came against Fulham in late January.
The jury remains out on Ruben Amorim as the performances and results have been just as concerning under his watch as they were during Erik ten Hag’s tenure.
Bruno Fernandes is doing his best to pull the standards up and it was the Portuguese playmaker who scored Man United’s goal at the Emirates in the FA Cup the night his side ultimately won a penalty shootout having played an hour with ten men.
However, Mikel Arteta has generally had the upper hand in this match-up in recent years – his last visit to Old Trafford ended in a 1-0 win courtesy of Leandro Trossard.
No team has allowed their opponents fewer shots on target than Arsenal this season.
Our Prediction: 2-0 to Arsenal
The Magpies will naturally have one eye on the Carabao Cup final and with Sven Botman, Lewis Hall and Anthony Gordon already unavailable for Wembley – and a minor doubt over Alexander Isak – it would be understandable if Eddie Howe’s troops lacked their usual enthusiasm on Monday night.
As for the hosts, Graham Potter won a few admirers in the capital when he oversaw wins over Arsenal and Leicester at the end of February.
The London Stadium faithful haven’t had all that much cheer this season as only five teams have earned fewer points at home but it feels like a good time to play a depleted Newcastle side that have lost four of their last six league games.
Our Prediction: 2-1 to West Ham

A TOWIE star has joined Tinder and shared some sexy snaps and holiday photos, as they look for love weeks after splitting from their ‘cheating’ boyfriend.
TV star Freddie Bentley, 27, posted a profile on the app, and says he’s looking for a “long-term partner.”
Freddie flooded his page with luxury snaps, including a topless one aboard a yacht, pap pics, and selfies.
He also posted a cheeky photo on a balcony in Calvin Klein underpants, as well as photos in his swimming gear.
In his bio, Freddie says he’s a “presenter,” and puts his height at 5ft9in.
He writes: “A homosexual,” in the ‘people would describe me as’ section, and tells potential suitors that his star sign is Libra.
The star also says he doesn’t drink or smoke, works out sometimes and has a pet dog.
Freddie’s move over to Tinder comes just weeks after it was revealed that he’d split from his boyfriend after finding out he was “cheating” on holiday.
The heartbroken star, 27, said he discovered that his mystery fella was unfaithful to him while on a trip to Thailand.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Freddie said: “I’ve recently become single, which I was completely heartbroken.
“I really felt I found my person, it turns out he’s not my knight in shining armour… he’s a p**** dressed in tinfoil.
“My hearts full again, I’ve recovered from it, I’ve healed and I’m back dating which is really nice, I’m so happy.
“It’s too early but I hope I’ll carry on dating on the show.
“We were really happy and content, the fella I was speaking to at the time was travelling in Thailand and I found out while he was out there, he slept with someone.
“It’s not ideal, we were exclusive. If I’m sleeping with someone, you don’t sleep with someone else.
“I respect myself so much.
“The reason I fell for him, was because I was celibate for two-and-a-half years, that’s a long time.”
Despite the split, Freddie said he holds no grudges and has thrown himself back into the dating world after learning a few lessons.
AN 11-year-old school girl has been killed following a horror collision in Derry yesterday.
The young girl was struck by a car after she was getting off a schoolbus on the Hillhead Road, Castledawson, Co Derry.
The tragic incident occurred at around 4pm yesterday.
Inspector Adair of the PSNI said: “There was a large number of people in the vicinity at the time who may have recorded video footage of the scene.
“I would ask anyone with footage not to share it on social media, but instead forward it to police through the Major Incident Public Portal.
“This footage will be of great assistance to officers investigating the collision.
“The Hillhead Road has reopened following this serious collision and our investigation continues.
“Anyone with any information, dash-cam footage or images taken at the scene can also call on 101, quoting reference number 1038 05/03/25.”

This comes after an 11-year-old boy who was stabbed in the back by a fellow pupil at primary school is expected to remain in hospital for days as he recovers from surgery.
The young lad was knifed with a large blade and suffered a punctured lung on Tuesday morning at St Finian’s School in Finglas, north Dublin.
He underwent surgery and had been in intensive care but as a precautionary measure.
He had suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.
A source told the Irish Sun: “The boy has had surgery and is out the other side of that.
“His injuries are non-life threatening but it wasn’t as if it was a slit with a knife, this was a deep wound and very serious.
“It’s a very traumatising thing for him to go through but supports are in place for him.”
The other child is suspected to have brought the weapon onto school grounds.
Work is continuing to establish what exactly led to the incident.
However the main priority is that all pupils as well as staff are being supported.
