New study says high-fiber diet could speed up cancer recovery — here's what to eat now
A recent study suggests that a high-fiber diet may improve cancer treatment outcomes. Melanoma patients responded better to immunotherapy with increased fiber intake. The DIET trial revealed a link between fiber, gut health, and immune response. Patients on a high-fiber diet experienced fewer side effects.

A new study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that patients with melanoma responded better to treatment when their diet was high in fiber, as per a report by the DIET trial looked at patients who were getting immunotherapy, which is a treatment that helps the body fight cancer by boosting its natural defenses. Researchers found that people who ate more fiber had better results from their treatment and fewer side effects. The main connection? The gut John Ma, the study's lead investigator and an oncologist at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, said, "We're learning that gut bacteria play an important role in how the immune system works and how it responds to treatment."The second phase of the trial had two groups of people with melanoma. One group ate a lot of fiber, getting between 30 and 50 grams of it every day. The other group ate a more typical Western diet, getting about 20 grams of fiber every who followed the high-fiber plan not only handled it well, but they also responded better to immunotherapy.

US aircraft ready to support AFP disaster relief ops — PAF
A PAF Black Hawk helicopter of the 205th Tactical Helicopter Wing transported boxes of food packs and sacks of relief supplies to a typhoon-stricken village in Abra province on July 27, 2025. PHOTO: PAF The Philippine Air Force (PAF) on Monday confirmed the presence of U.S. military aircraft in the country to assist in disaster response operations, even as the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) intensified efforts to assist typhoon-hit communities. PAF spokesperson Col. Ma. Consuelo Castillo said both rotary and fixed-wing aircraft from the US have been committed to support humanitarian aid and disaster response (HADR) missions, though their deployment will depend on the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), which leads national disaster coordination and identifies priority areas. 'As far as the information that we got, yes—there are aircraft committed by the United States to help in our HADR efforts,' Castillo said in an ambush interview at Camp Aguinaldo. 'They include both rotary and fixed-wing assets currently positioned at one of our air bases for ready deployment.' According to the PAF, the OCD will pinpoint the areas of great concern, with the utilization of US assets following its direction. 'We cannot say how long they will stay, but they are here and committed to help,' Castillo said. Meanwhile, the AFP has already mobilized resources to assist those affected by recent typhoons, particularly in Northern Luzon and other vulnerable regions. As of July 28, the AFP has deployed 50 Search, Rescue, and Retrieval (SRR) Teams composed of 445 personnel, primarily under the Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM). These teams are supporting operations in provinces that include Abra, Antique, and Batanes. To transport relief supplies and evacuate stranded residents, the AFP has mobilized 51 KM trucks for ground transport, six Black Hawk helicopters, and one C-130 cargo aircraft, which was scheduled to transport 151 stranded individuals from Batanes to Manila on July 29, weather permitting. Beyond immediate response teams, the AFP maintains a nationwide posture for sustained operations: 1,113 SRR teams with over 12,455 personnel, 988 land mobility assets, 47 Philippine Air Force aircraft, and 25 Philippine Navy vessels positioned across various commands. The ongoing cooperation with the United States, including the arrival of U.S. Marine Corps aircraft, reflects continuing bilateral defense ties and the shared commitment to humanitarian and disaster relief, one of the focus areas under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA). — RF, GMA Integrated News
