Fibre and whole grains 'reduce bowel cancer risk'
High fibre cereals are just one type of fibre which were shown to help prevent colorectal cancer. Eating more cereals and whole grains could reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer, a BMJ study says. Researchers from Imperial College London found that for every 10g a day increase in fibre intake, there was a 10% drop in the risk of bowel cancer.
So according to this if I eat a 100g more fibre each day I will never get this type of cancer. What a pile of lentils! (no pun intended)
