Vegetables and fruits to fight colon and rectal cancer

Colon and rectal cancer are very common in advanced countries. This is partly due to the lifestyles and partly due to the dietary practices. Very little fiber could be found in the diets of western countries. The inclusion of more fruits and vegetables is the key to prevention of cancer. Fruits and vegetables contribute both antioxidants and fiber. It has been shown that different vegetables and fruits offer protection against different forms of cancer.

Apples : Distal colon cancer
Cabbage : Proximal and distal cancer
Cauliflower : Proximal and distal cancer
Broccoli : Proximal and distal cancer
Fruit juices : Rectal cancer
