A High-Fat Diet Could Lead to Colon Cancer

Although nutritional supplements such as vitamin C may calm the symptoms of inflammation, it may be important not to ignore the signs.
Inflammation could be your body’s way of indicating abnormal cell growth that may lead to colon cancer. According to a new study published in The Journal of Nutrition, mice who were fed a high-fat diet were more susceptible to inflammation of the colon, which could eventually lead to cancer.
A diet high in fat and low in fiber, vitamin D and calcium has already been proven to be related to colon cancer. However, a new study suggests it sparks an inflammatory reaction that could eventually trigger the disease.
After feeding mice either a diet of 5 percent fat and a large amount of calcium and vitamin D or a diet made up of 20 percent fat and limited amounts of calcium and vitamin D, it was discovered that the mice in the second group gained more weight and experienced inflammation systems more frequently.
The inflammatory response was also shown to trigger the carcinogenic, or cancer formatting process.
Most All Disease Begins in the Colon
Doctors and nutritionists agree: Death begins in the colon. Most infections and diseases start because of waste, toxins and infections in the intestinal tract.
And, keeping your colon healthy is the #1 way to prevent sickness and maintain health.
Adding daily fiber to your diet speeds up the time from digestion to elimination and is essential for healthy colon function. It helps scrub away dangerous toxins… eliminate waste from your system… and increase absorption of vital nutrients.
But it does even more than that. Adding fiber can help you reduce acid in your body… improve your digestion… maintain healthy cholesterol… and boost your energy levels.
But what exactly is the most effective way to get that extra fiber in your diet? Click Here to find out!
