Abstract

The large differences in cancer rates among countries, striking changes in these rates among migrating populations, and rapid changes over time within countries indicate that some aspect of lifestyle or environment is largely responsible for the common cancersThe incidence rates of colon cancer are high in North America and northern Europe, lower in southern Europe, and much lower in Asia and Africa. It is widely believed that environmental factors, particularly dietary patterns, account for most of this marked variation in rates. By and large, the number one cancer that one can prevent through diet is colorectal cancer. Studies and researches have revealed that a healthy balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, lower fat milk products and healthy fats has been linked to a decreased risk of colorectal cancer. Conversely, a diet high in fat and calories, low in fibre, vegetables and fruits and eating too much red meat and processed meats,has been linked to an increased risk of the disease. There is a great variance worldwide in the incidence of colorectal cancer with some countries having 10 to 20 times the rate of other countries. Although genetics may play a role in the disease, many researchers believe that as much as 90% of these differences can be explained by dietary factors alone. Fortunately, there are many dietary habits and nutrients that may help to prevent this devastating and potentially deadly disease. Key nutrition facts for colon cancer is considered to be a great challenge for the prevention of colon cancer. Diet: risk factors you can change, nutrition /supplemention, oxidation and antioxidant rescue.
