Dietary Fiber Reduces Stomach Cancer Risk by 42%: This new meta-analysis including over 580,000 people shows that those with the highest fiber intake have 42% less risk of gastric cancer compared to those with the lowest intake. In more practical terms, every extra 10 grams of fiber you eat daily is expected to reduce your risk of gastric cancer by 44%. One of the mechanisms through which fiber does this is by maintaining a more positive intestinal flora--in fact, fiber is absolutely crucial for this. If you take probiotics for better health, their benefit will only be as much as the fiber you take in with them. gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(13)00492-7/abstract?referrer=ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23567349
