Last week we talked about the most beneficial short chain fatty acid for endo - butyrate.Short chain fatty acids are types of healthy fats that are produced by good gut bacteria when we eat fibre. They eat the fibre, and the process of this, known as fermentation, produces short chain fatty acids.To get the low down on endo and short chain fatty acids overall, head to episode ep.310 and to learn about butyrate specifically, go to last week’s episode 311.Today, we’re talking about the two other main short chain fatty acids; propionate and acetate.Read more.Show notesSCFAsReferences:https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/short-chain-fatty-acids-101#TOC_TITLE_HDR_3https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11208329/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8500332/https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/cellular-and-infection-microbiology/articles/10.3389/fcimb.2024.1373004/fullhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9962481/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8198999/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p
