There is a growing body of research also on the action of resistant starch, butyrate production and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer. This is a case where a starch actually becomes a fat (C4) from the actions of gut bacteria

Resistant starch: a promising dietary agent for the prevention/treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and bowel cancer.
