Fiber Fight Colon Cancer

If you has read my post on Fiber, you may already know that fiber is very important to our bodies which it carry out all those waste hormones from bile duct and then out of our bodies.

But you might need to know that fiber also has another function you should know about. It may reduce your risk of colon cancer.

Let me explain in more detail, as you know, Fiber moves intestinal contents along, so that what ever carcinogens (cancer-causing chemicals) may be lurking in your waste products are escorted out of the body more quickly.

Carcinogens don’t just come from factory waste and air pollution. They are sometimes present in foods. For example, when chicken, fish, or red meat is cooked at a high temperature, cancer-causing chemicals called heterocyclic amines tend to form as the protein molecules and other parts of muscle tissue are deformed by the intense heat.

However, your body produces to digest fats can also encourage the production of carcinogens.
But, with a high-fiber diet can helps move these compounds out of your body. :)
