People with quarter pound stools have 3x the rate of colon cancer.<\/li><li>The larger the stool, the faster the transit time. A good time is 24-36 hours. This can be tested by eating beets, then noticing when your stool turns pink.<\/li><li>Constipation can be solved with dietary fiber.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phytates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Found in seeds, grains, beans, and nuts.<\/li><li>Phytates have a host of good health properties: they\u2019re antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and immune-enhancing (by activating natural killer cells).<ul><li>In lab studies, phytates also inhibit the growth of human cancer while leaving human cells alone.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Phytates remove excess iron, which can generate hydroxyl radicals.&nbsp;<ul><li>Meat eaters absorb high amounts of heme iron, which is often not counterbalanced by eating more seeds and nuts.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Phytates were once feared to inhibit mineral absorption, but later studies showed that people eating high levels of phytates tend to have greater bone mineral density and fewer hip fractures.<\/li><li>High vegetable, low-meat diets have been shown to prevent colorectal cancer<\/li><li>Increasing bean consumption by \u00bc cup a day cuts polyp recurrence by 65%.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Berries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Berries contain antioxidants, which suppress cancer cell growth&nbsp;<em>in vitro.<\/em><\/li><li>Eating black raspberries cut the polyp count of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis in half.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Turmeric<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Contains curcumin, which has antioxidant and anti-mutagenic properties. Curcumin doesn\u2019t get absorbed well into the bloodstream, but it stays intact in the digestive tract to interact with polyps.<\/li><li>In a study, curcumin reduced the occurrence and size of polyps throughout the spectrum of colorectal cancer, from aberrant foci to benign polyps to cancerous polyps, by up to 40%.<\/li><li>Cancer rates in India are much lower than those in the United States\u2014for example, the US shows 10 times more colorectal cancer, 12x more kidney cancer. Turmeric may explain part of it, but another contributor may be less meat-eating: only 7% of Indians eat meat on a daily basis, with most of their diet consisting of leafy vegetables and legumes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Red meat problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Eating processed and unprocessed red meat is associated with increased mortality from cancer and heart disease, and lower lifespans\u2014even <em>after<\/em> controlling for age, weight, alcohol, exercise, smoking, family history, and intake of plant foods. <strong>This suggests there is something bad about eating meat itself.<\/strong><\/li><li>It could be heme-iron\u2014iron is a pro-oxidant (the opposite of an antioxidant) that generates free radicals. The heme-iron in meat is also absorbed more effectively by the digestive tract compared to non-heme iron from plants, and heme-iron also has less autoregulation of absorption to prevent you from absorbing too much. In short, if you have too much iron in your body, you stop absorbing non-heme iron from plant foods, but you keep absorbing heme iron from meat.<\/li><li>Good plant sources of iron include whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and green leafy vegetables.<\/li><li>Vitamin C helps with iron absorption.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it possible to prevent colorectal cancer?
