Intra- and inter-tumor heterogeneity (TMH) among colorectal cancer patients is considered as major hurdles to develop precise, potent, and personalized cancer therapeutics. The discernible factors that contribute to the existence of TMH and associated problems are suggested as genetic, molecular, epigenetic, and environmental pressures including shifts in trend from high-fiber diet to high-fat/processed sugar diet. In essence, components of high fat/processed sugar diet potentiate metabolic re-programing of inherent cellular heterogeneity of cancer stem cells (CSCs) by genetic and epigenetic pathways intersected by the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) nuclear receptor. Therefore, choices of dietary components shape up protumor or antitumor microenvironment by the modulation of FXR regulated transcriptional and epigenetic events in CSCs. In this article, we highlight the major understanding emanated from preclinical and clinical studies that indicate the potential contribution of high fiber/saturated sugar diet toward carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer.
