Abstract
The present invention provides a method for screening for a food ingredient or a food composition that reduces a cancer risk and inhibits cancer development. A substance that reduces a cancer risk is screened by administering a candidate substance and analyzing alteration in gut microbiota or a metabolite produced by an intestinal bacterium. Also, candidate substances are screened by adding each candidate substance to a bacterial culture system and analyzing its effect on a bacterium involved in cancer development.
