YouTube video (Aaron Hartman, MD) introducing butyrate as an influential short-chain fatty acid that benefits blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, colon and terminal ileum cell health, and has anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, anti-cancer, and anti-dementia effects. The speaker asserts a widespread ("epidemic") deficiency of butyrate measurable in populations.

It's going to help with blood sugar, insulin sensitivity and the like of that metabolic flexibility. It's fuel for those colon cells and the terminal ileum, so they work better. It's anti inflammatory, it's detoxifying, it's anti cancer, it's anti dementia. Pick a bad thing and butyrate is anti that literally. And we are in a state of profound epidemic deficiency. We measure these, that's how we know that.
