A study that looked at the mechanism behind dietary
fibers effect on the microbiome, they hypothesized that «dietary
fiber resists digestion in the
small intestine, and enters the colon where it is fermented to
produce [short chain fatty acids] that may enhance the healthy composition of gut microbiota.»

FIBER Contribution of Fiber to Energy When a metabolizable carbohydrate is absorbed in the small intestine, its energy value is 16.7 kJ / g (4 kcal / g); when fiber is anaerobically fer - mented by colonic microflora in the large intestine, short - chain fatty acids (e.g., butyrate, acetate, and propionate) are produced and absorbed as an energy so
