To avoid colon cancer, eat more fruit, less meat

To avoid colon cancer, eat more fruit, study finds Reuters/Yahoo!News 3/21/07 "People who eat a diet high in fruit and low in meat reduce their risk of developing colon cancer...Their study supports other research showing that meat can raise the risk of getting cancer, especially colon cancer...people who recalled eating large or moderate amounts of meat were 70 percent more likely to have had a polyp than those who said they ate a lot of fruit but little meat...Colon cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States after lung cancer, with a projected 52,000 deaths in 2007...Just 18 percent of the people who said they ate a lot of fruit but little meat had a polyp, compared to 30 percent of the moderate meat-eaters and 32 percent of people in the high meat-eating group"

More research based on memory. Not the hardiest of research, but another data point to note when considering diet and cancer.
