Does dietary fiber reduce the risk of cancer?

Answer 1

I know that I ate a very high fibre diet most of my life but was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, so I would say no to your question. Other factors could contribute to getting ovarian cancer, such as the other foods eaten and the environment. There are scientists who say that fibre can decrease the chance of cancer, so I guess that Fibre can help, but there is currently no definite answer. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

It has been suggested that many cases of colon cancer are due to carcinogens produced by microorganisms that grow in the large intestine. Assuming this to be true. How does dietary fiber reduce the risk of colon cancer?

Answer 3

High-fiber diets may help lessen exposure of the colon lining to carcinogens from the environment, as the transit time through the bowel is faster with a high-fiber diet than it is with a low-fiber diet.

Answer 4

Healthy living, including a diet low in saturated fats that contains enough fiber from fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes, helps to discourage all kinds of ailments, including cancer. It reduces the risks of cancer, but does not prevent it outright, since a certain number of cancer cases occur even in the healthiest-living people.

However, your Question, which included the phrase low-fiber, does not indicate a healthy diet. It is essential to get enough fiber, from sources such as those listed above, along with one's proteins, dairy, and other foods.
