Whole Grains Dramatically Reduce Colon Cancer Risk >25%: In this new case-control study out of Europe, those eating the most whole wheat and/or rye bread had 52% less risk of distal colon cancer compared to those eating the least (upper vs. lower quartiles). Distal cancer makes up about 50% of all colon cancer cases, resulting in a net colon cancer reduction of >25%. This study is superior to other similar studies in that researchers measured blood levels of a key marker of whole wheat or rye consumption (alkylresorcinols) rather than relying on food frequency questionnaires which can be very inaccurate. They also separated out distal vs. proximal colon cancer cases in their analysis, since considering all colon #cancer cases together resulted in no significant protection from whole grains (except in Scandinavian countries, which saw greater overall protection from whole #grains for unknown reasons - but possibly the form in which they eat it). These differences may explain why past studies have not found large protective effects from whole grains against cancer, so it is important to follow the latest, best studies like this one. For those who cannot do wheat (like myself), the good news here is that an anti-cancer benefit is also obtained by eating whole grained #rye. And dont forget that whole grained #sourdough breads may offer yet additional anti-cancer benefits due to the peptides created in the fermentation process. >>> jojie21.tambayacademy/ >>> https://facebook/jojie21
