Vicki Koenig, MS, RD, CDN from Stonyfield.com reports that healthy nutrition and lifestyle choices can prevent or slow tumor growth in the early stages of colon cancer. She says that colon cancer is the third most common cancer (for men and women) in our country, however, “70% of colon cancer is preventable.”
Some factors that reduce the incidence of colon cancer are:
- diets high in calcium and dairy
- diets high in Vitamin D and folate
- lots of probiotics, fiber, and exercise
