Modulation of protein fermentation does not affect fecal water toxicity: a randomized cross-over study in healthy subjects.

Protein fermentation results in production of metabolites such as ammonia, amines and indolic, phenolic and sulfur-containing compounds. In vitro studies suggest that these metabolites might be toxic. However, human and animal studies do not consistently support these findings. We modified protein f...
