Hyaluronic acid is a beneficial fiber that nourishes microbes and provides multiple beneficial effects to the body. Hyaluronan-based cancer resistance operates at the extracellular matrix level, not at the level of tumor-suppressor gene expression. Topical hyaluronic acid does not replicate the systemic effects of oral consumption. Hyaluronic acid's presence in cancerous tissue is coincidental to its natural biological role and is not evidence of cancer causation. Hyaluronan acts as a physical barrier that cages cancer cells and prevents them from spreading. Oral hyaluronic acid functions as a prebiotic fiber nourishing butyrate-producing species including Faecalibacterium and Akkermansia. Hyaluronic acid's effect on body composition is indirect, mediated through butyrate-producing species rather than directly. Butyrate produced by hyaluronic-acid-fed species supports lean muscle mass restoration and acidifies the skin. Finding hyaluronic acid in cancer tissue is not evidence of pathogenic properties; it merely reflects the substance's ubiquitous presence in the body. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs throughout the human body in skin, joints, eyes, tongue, brain, uterus, prostate,…
