Will broccoli help reduce the risk of color cancer?

Some medical research has been conducted into the therapeutic and preventive properties of broccoli and other high fibre foods with regard to colon cancer. Many institutions have concluded that broccoli, and particularly high fibre foods are indeed associated with preventing the risk of colon cancer.

To better understand why this is, it needs to be known that one of the main causes of colon cancer is through the buildup of cancer causing toxins known as carcinogens. Carcinogens that accumulate in the bowel can be reabsorbed into the bloodstream damaging cell function and causing them to mutate.

Fibre, or more specifically, insoluble fibre, speeds up the journey of food through the digestive system reducing the time carcinogens spend in the colon. This action reduces the chance of carcinogens getting absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore reduces the risk of colorectal cancers.

In addition, emptying your bowel regularly is an effective way to ensure possible carcinogens and toxins are removed from your body.
