Of all cancers, colon cancer has the strongest links to diet, in terms of both prevention and causation.

Without a doubt, Americans consume more carcinogens than just about any other population in the world. As a whole, our diet is high in carcinogenic fats, cancer-causing nitrosamines and nitrites and tumor-promoting sugar. And worse yet, we eat dangerously low amounts of fiber, vegetables and fruits.

Finally, recent evidence indicates that glutamate, found in MSG and other food additives, is a powerful catalyst for the growth and spread of cancer. That is, glutamate enhances the growth of cancer, making it much more deadly.

Generally speaking, it takes decades of nutritional abuse before colon cancer develops.

The first changes occur within special clusters of cells found in the lining of the colon. These are called aberrant crypt foci. The more of these you have, the more likely you are to develop colon cancer.

Several nutrients have demonstrated the ability to suppress these precancerous cell clusters. The most impressive fighters are:

* curcumin * conjugated linolenic acid (CLA) * quercetin * DHA * natural vitamin E * vitamin E succinate * silymarin * ellagic acid * N-butyrate (ButyrAid) * vitamin B6

Calcium suppresses colon cancer in those who maintain a high-fat diet. Research shows that curcumin, a flavonoid extracted from the spice turmeric, can powerfully suppress many types of cancer, especially colon cancer.

Cumin and turmeric are staples of Indian cuisine and this has been thought to account for the significantly lower incidence of colon cancer within the Indian population.

N-butyrate, a short-chain oil, has been shown to powerfully inhibit colon cancer development as well as the growth of cancers that have already developed.

Research shows that the oil CLA also powerfully suppresses breast and colon cancer. As little as 1,000 mg. a day will be effective. This special oil regulates immunity and directly suppresses colon cancer formation. DHA and omega-3 oils also suppress colon cancer.

Three flavonoids that provide powerful protection against colon cancer are quercetin, silymarin and ellagic acid.

A tremendous amount of recent evidence demonstrates the dramatic anticancer effects of ellagic acid. It is a flavonoid found in most berries (especially the meeker raspberry), walnuts, pecans, pomegranate and muscadine grapes. The dose is 1,000 mg. twice to three times a day.
