“…Indeed, several protocols for treating auto-immune diseases exist, which are based on PD eating patterns, focusing on the elimination of several food groups typical of the Western diet [65,66]. A PD also ensures a high consumption of microbiota-accessible carbohydrates, which is predicted to optimize gut microbial diversity [67]. In fact, the microbiome of the Tanzanian Hadza hunter–gatherers, who still consume a diet mostly composed of foods that would have been available to early humans during the Paleolithic era in Africa, has been shown to be much more diverse than that of urban Italians, with Firmicutes (72 ± 1.9%) and Bacteroidetes (17 ± 1.1%) dominating on the phylum level, followed by Proteobacteria (6 ± 1.2%) and Spirochaetes (3 ± 0.9%), which were relatively enriched compared to Italians [68].…”

: Diet is frequently considered as a food regimen focused on weight loss, while it is actually the sum of food consumed by the organism. Western diets, modern lifestyle, sedentary behaviors, smoking habits, and drug consumption have led to a significant reduction of gut microbial diversity, which is linked to many non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The latter kill 40 million people each year, equivalent to more than 70% of all deaths globally. Among NCDs, tumors play a major role, being responsible for 29% of deaths from NCDs. A link between diet, microbiota, and cancer prevention and treatment has recently been unveiled, underlining the importance of a new food culture based on limiting dietary surplus and on preferring healthier foods. Here, we review the effects of some of the most popular “cancer-specific” diets on microbiota composition and their potential impact on cancer prevention and treatment.

“…The Paleolithic diet (PD) displays similarities to the MD, as it is characterized by high consumption of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts, and seeds, yet it excludes all processed foods, legumes, grains, dairy products, and plant oils (except for olive and coconut oil) [25,26]. The PD also consists of extraordinarily high amounts of fiber intake (~100 g/day), yet interestingly, while the benefits of PD may be in part due to high consumption of microbiota-accessible carbohydrates which positively impact gut microbiota diversity, there is some evidence to suggest PD promotes higher microbiome diversity compared to MD [22,27].…”

Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, and there is a growing appreciation for the complex involvement of diet, microbiomes, and inflammatory processes culminating in tumorigenesis. Although research has significantly improved our understanding of the various factors involved in different cancers, the underlying mechanisms through which these factors influence tumor cells and their microenvironment remain to be completely understood. In particular, interactions between the different microbiomes, specific dietary factors, and host cells mediate both local and systemic immune responses, thereby influencing inflammation and tumorigenesis. Developing an improved understanding of how different microbiomes, beyond just the colonic microbiome, can interact with dietary factors to influence inflammatory processes and tumorigenesis will support our ability to better understand the potential for microbe-altering and dietary interventions for these patients in future.
