 Researchers from the Netherlands found that a high food intake of plant lignans (ground flax is the most concentrated source) could reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 50 percent. They also found that the breakdown products of dietary lignans may be helpful for people with colorectal adenomas (growths in the colon and rectum that are considered potential precursors for colorectal cancer). The higher the blood level of the lignan breakdown metabolites (enterodiol and enterolactone), the greater the benefit, the researchers noted. |

| The HRT users also had a reduced risk of colorectal cancer and fractures, but overall the risks outweighed the benefits. This study marked a significant moment in history for HRT, and millions of women discontinued their HRT as a result of the findings. In the five years since the WHI, many studies have been completed, shedding new light on why decades of observational studies of postmenopausal women using HRT differed from the WHI study and why there seems to be such disparity amongst some of the key studies in the area of memory, heart disease, and breast cancer in particular. |

| Another study, which followed the eating habits of 38,451 women over a period of eight years, found that "a diet with a high dietary glycemic load may increase the risk of colorectal cancer in women," according to head researcher and epidemiologist Susan Higgin-botham, Ph.D., of the School of Public Health at the University of Southern California. More specifically, as the researchers pointed out in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, women with higher-glycemic-load diets were found nearly three times more likely to develop colon cancer. |

 There are many studies that do not show a correlation between smoking and colon cancer. If colorectal cancer emerges only after a 35-year induction period, an association would unlikely be detected in studies where exposure assessment is of shorter duration. Most previous studies do not examine smoking of such duration and therefore do not account for the hypothesized 35-year induction period. A 30-year study of over 17,000 twins in Sweden found a 3-fold increased risk of colon/rectal cancer compared to those who never smoked. |

Shocking Facts About Livestock Farming
• In the United States alone, about 41 million cows are raised and slaughtered for human consumption each year.20
• For every pound of beef you eat, factory farmers must use 2,500 gallons of water and a gallon of gasoline to run machinery, and 35 pounds of topsoil is lost due to erosion. |
| Factors that may elevate your risk for developing colon cancer include: having polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, pre-existing cancer in another part of the body (particularly the breast), and having relatives with a history of colorectal cancer. A significant rise in the risk of colon cancer occurs for both males and females after age 35.28 It's estimated 1 in 26 women (compared to 1 in 27 men), will suffer from the disease at some point in their life.29 The biggest risk factor however is the amount of daily toxins to which you expose yourself. |

 There was a 37 percent reduction in total cancer incidence, a 63 percent decline in the incidence of prostate cancer, a 58 percent decrease in the incidence of colorectal cancer, and a 46 percent decline in the incidence of lung cancer. Oh yes, and a 50 percent decrease in total cancer mortality. (The authors speculate that the reason they didn't see results with skin cancer was because the nature of skin cancer is such that this study may have been too short to demonstrate a positive effect.)

 D through sunlight may decrease a person's risk of developing breast cancer by 50 percent and of developing colorectal cancer by more than 65 percent.
To increase the precision and accuracy of the study, researchers used meta-analysis to pool data from multiple previous studies. They divided subjects into groups based on their blood levels of vitamin D and compared the incidence of cancer between groups. |
| The second study showed that the same amount of sunlight corresponded with a two-thirds lower risk of contracting colorectal cancer. For any doctor or friend who asks for proof for the "outrageous" claim that sunlight can prevent or cure cancer, you may want to refer him or her to the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (doi: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2006.12. |
| Vitamin D and prevention of breast cancer: Pooled analysis') and to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (Volume 32, Number 3, Pages 210-216 'Optimal vitamin D status for colorectal cancer prevention—A quantitative meta-analysis').
Unlike drugs, surgery, or radiation, sunlight costs nothing, has no harmful side effects, and can prevent numerous other diseases at the same time.
Not dissimilar to the study on cancers, researchers found a strong correlation between geography and multiple sclerosis (MS). |
| Thankfully, low-carb diets recently lost popularity with the public since the approach has been shown to put followers at a higher risk for clogged arteries, heart attack, and possibly colorectal cancer as well.
Yes, Your Body Can Store Protein!
Meat and meat products have 5 to 10 times the protein concentration of plant food proteins. Whereas you can easily overeat on animal protein, it is much less likely to overeat on proteins contained in vegetables, grains and nuts. The stomach would have to be at least five times larger to accommodate such large portions of food. |
| Our data do not support the existence of an important protective effect of dietary fiber against colorectal cancer or adenoma." Surprisingly, the women who ate the most fiber—nearly 25 grams per day—were just as likely to develop colon cancer and pre-cancerous tumors as those who ate the least (about 10 grams per day).
There are close to 30 published studies which all confirm that fiber intake has not only no beneficial effects, but is indicated in multiple complications of the gastrointestinal tract. |
| Apparently, University of Texas researchers treated some human colorectal cancer cells with neurotensin, with and without curcumin. They confirmed that neurotensin started a chain reaction of chemicals that can increase the growth of cancer and also the migration of cancer cells and that curcumin blocked the process. The researchers concluded that curcumin may have the potential to both treat and prevent colon cancer and other cancers. |

 Sufficient folate intake has also been associated with lower colorectal cancer risk.
FOLATE AND VITAMIN B12
High levels of folic acid supplementation, especially above 1000 meg daily, can mask symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. The addition of folic acid to food is risky because some people may get enough folic acid to hide the terrible effects of vitamin B12 deficiency on nerves. The addition of folic acid to grains is also controversial because it only helps prevent neural tube defects about half of the time. |

 According to the "Women's Health Initiative," a low fat diet, long a mantra for good health, seems not to prevent breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or cardiovascular disease.13
In some academic circles it is fashionable to debunk science. Fair enough. Our thought experiment joins in that effort. But in those same circles, it is fashionable to assume, a priori, that some natural curative is efficacious. We would propose a healthy dose of skepticism, and even more, an agnostic skepticism. Nothing works until it is so demonstrated, to paraphrase T. H. |

| A report entitled "Chemoprevention of colorectal cancer: ready for routine use?" notes that this type of cancer is believed to take 15-20 years to develop, providing a window of opportunity for prevention. Adenomas (polyps) usually precede cancer, but not always. The report says "chemoprevention is a new emerging science, means the use of agents to inhibit, delay or reverse cancer." But the report dwells on the use of antiinflammatory drugs which cause 107,000 hospitalizations and 16,500 deaths annually due to side effects. |

Can Antibiotics Damage My Colon?
Antibiotics are drugs that destroy bacteria or inhibit their growth and are possibly the most over-prescribed medication on Earth. Antibiotics can kill beneficial bacteria, cause diarrhea and colitis, and lead to antibiotic resistance by bacteria if overused. Very commonly, viral infections are misdiagnosed as bacterial infections. |

Tips jo r Using Pea nuts
SELECTION AND STORAGE:
• Look for peanuts either shelled or unshelled, as oil, as peanut butter (with or without additives like sugar and salt, smooth, creamy, chunky, super-chunky, and more), and as an ingredient in confections or sauces—you name it!
• Peanuts can turn rancid quickly so try to taste one before you buy them. |
