I know it seems counter intuitive given the data that the NSA (national science academy) has promoted by funding and advertisements in the last 40 years. Meat, dairy and eggs also have high butyrate compositions due to the high amount of resistant fibers eaten by the animals.

We usually hear of soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble can be broken down in the small intestine and insoluble cannot be broken down. These two sets of fibers are overlapped by a type of fiber called resistant. Resistant fibers must be broken down by colon bacteria, or they will pass through like insoluble.

There are several factors that can make a fiber resistant. Unripe fruit and most vegetables have a lot of resistant fiber. Truly ripe fruit has very little to none. If starches are cooked the fiber becomes soluble as long as it is cooked thoroughly and eaten warm. If it is allowed to cool, the starches become resistant. This is the biggest vegan human source of resistant fiber. 

It is easy to understand why the NSA and other government agencies would want to support butyrates. If they were indeed dangerous to our system, then our whole system of world governments and our economy would have to be changed because it is all based on cooked starches.

Methanogens are the bacteria that create butyrates. These bacteria have evolved inside animals that eat a diet rich in insoluble and resistant fibers. Basically high in grass since no animal uses seeds as its primary source of food.

Humans, however had a different evolution. Primates before humans ate mostly ripe fruits and were also carnivorous. Human evolution was bottlenecked and we were restricted to an area of Africa where figs where the main food source. 

We were not the only animals like this, many birds, bats, and even elephants in the area relied almost completely on the fig tree. The fruit bats in this area have a digestive tract that is closer to the human digestive tract than that of any other animal. These bats chew the figs and swallow the juices, leaving the seeds and pulp behind.

I am quite sure that humans ate the whole fig, because we needed to carry to seeds in our colon to improve the range of the fig tree. I know that if you look up fiber in figs, it is quite high. These tests were done on dried figs. Although fresh figs are very healthy, dried figs are not much better than grain.

The word money comes from the word mammony which once meant dried figs. This is also why the bible says you cannot serve God and mammon. The throne of God in the bible is the fig Tree. The Sycamore Fig to be exact.

Anyways, the damage done by butyrates has been hidden by scientists since the 1800's when the danger was realized. Max Gerson was murdered because he knew about how butyrates damage the body.

This is how it works in a basic sense. All biochemists know this, because they use this principle to induce cancer and disease in rats:
       1: Cancer is caused by a population of cells that will not die.
       2: Cancer can only happen on epithelial and endothelial cells.
       3: Epi and Endo cells are capable of cytophagy and this occurs very often with a healthy diet.
       4: With billions of different cells performing cytophagy, the odds of a single mutant cell surviving and creating a                  population is zero. 
       5: Butyrates stop cytophagy.
       6: Without cytophagy, organs cannot heal and disease is inevitable. 
       7: To stop any disease including aging and obesity requires only the removal of butyrates from the body.

This has been shown many times by people who have done extended fasts on juice and water. It is also the principle that Max Gerson used to create the Gerson therapy. The part of his book that had the information about butyrates was stolen from his office and has not resurfaced until now.
