New evidence has come out that further solidifies the fact that eating a high fiber diet will help prevent colon caner. The Polyp Prevention Trial further gives us another reason to be 100% positive that having a high fiber diet helps prevent colon polyps from forming.

This new research conducted on 1905 participants from at least 35 years of age who had at least one colorectal polyp confirmed, has shown that diet rich in fiber, low in fat and whom had a high intake of fruits and vegetables (3.5 servings each 1000 kcal) is favorable for the prevention of colon cancer. This could reduce by 35% the likelihood of recurrence of polyps, further diminishing up to 50% likelihood of recurrence of advanced polyps.

With this new research, we can reassure again that a diet rich in fiber, low fat and high in fruit and vegetables is beneficial to health because it allows a better gastrointestinal function that helps us keep our intestines healthy, which in turn also allows us to have good digestion and nutrient absorption.
