Is Fiber Related to Cancer Prevention?
Research suggests that as fiber increases in the diet, the risk of colon
cancer and certain other cancers decreases. Dietary fiber, by increasing
the rate of feces movement through the colon, decreases the time that
carcinogenic agents in the digestive tract interact with cells lining the
colon. Fiber may also bind carcinogenic substances in the digestive tract
and decrease their absorption or interaction with colon cells. On a related
note, scientists have suggested that the risk of colon cancer decreases with
a healthy calcium intake.
