Description
Wing Soon Ng and three co-authors review tempoyak, a fermented durian paste, as a guard against bowel cancer in a 2026 paper. Bowel cancer is a major killer in Malaysia and worldwide, and an off-balance gut is now seen as one of its drivers. Tempoyak teems with lactic acid bacteria by tradition.
The review traces how a skewed gut can feed tumors: a leaky gut wall, long swelling, and harsh byproducts that scar DNA. Strains kin to tempoyak's germs calm those pathways in lab work and firm up the gut wall. The authors weigh the paste as a cheap, local probiotic food.
