Processed meat and colon cancer

November 10th, 2006 | by David Spelts |

High consumption of processed meats increases your risk of colon cancer. By processed meats, I believe they are talking about cured meats with sodium nitrite.

Interestingly, fiber intake has not been shown to protect against colon cancer…though it is obviosly important for overall colon health. Regular aspirin appears to be the most effective preventative treatment available.
