Colon cancer is a serious and deadly form of cancer, with about 2 million new cases diagnosed worldwide each year. While lung cancer is more common, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, with about 1 million people dying from the disease every year. But did you know that the risk of developing colon cancer can be significantly reduced by making simple changes to your diet? In this video, we explore the link between colon cancer and diet, and show you how to reduce your risk by eating a high-carb, plant-based diet.

Many people think that colon cancer is caused by a lack of fiber in the diet, but the truth is more complicated than that. In rural Africa, where the diet is traditionally very high in fiber, the rate of colon cancer is extremely low, with less than 1 person in 100,000 developing the disease. However, as the African diet has become more westernized and refined, the average fiber intake has fallen to only 25g a day, yet the rate of colon cancer remains low. This is because the modern African diet is still high in starch, including a type of starch called resistant starch, which is beneficial for colon health.

So, what can we learn from the African experience? The key is to eat a diet that is high in carbohydrates, but also high in fiber and resistant starch. This means choosing foods like whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables, and avoiding processed and refined foods. By making these simple changes to your diet, you can significantly reduce your risk of colon cancer and improve your overall health. So why not give it a try and see the benefits for yourself?
