Fiber Gets No Love From Cancer Research
Once thought of the reason for low colorectal incidence, fiber is now considered a poser based on new research.
Researchers seeking to resolve one of the most controversial issues in cancer prevention found that colorectal cancers were 16% less common among people consuming the most fiber than among those receiving the least.
But the advantage probably comes from other healthy lifestyle choices made by the fiber eaters, who tend to smoke less, exercise more, avoid red meats and consume more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, calcium and folic acid, the researchers said.
When researchers controlled for these factors, evidence of fiber as a cancer fighter disappeared.
–In a nutshell this research is suggesting that fiber is just for hardening up your dumps. Really, its too gross not to be good for you,
