Diet and colon cancer reoccurrence go hand-in-hand

In another study on the affects of diet on cancer, those colon cancer patients who indulged in diets containing meat, desserts, fat and refined grains were three times more likely to have a colon cancer recurrence than those who shifted their post-cancer diet away from these unhealthy items.

Surprised? Shouldn't be -- diet and cancer are so closely related that eating foods with tons of saturated fats and chemicals can take a genetic predisposition to cancer and speed it along.

What's important here is that after cancer treatment (hopefully, successful), one should change their diet to one full of healthy options instead of bad nutritional choices. It's all up to each individual patient.

Magnesium may lower risk of colon cancer for women

A magnesium-rich diet may significantly lower the incidence of colon cancer in women, according to University of Minnesota researchers Dr. Aaron R. Folsom and Dr. Ching-Ping Hong. At this point in time, the researchers are not sure why magnesium offers protective benefits for women, but suggest it may be due to the ability of magnesium to reduce cell proliferation, oxidative stress and improve insulin sensitivity. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Halibut, almonds, cashews, soybeans and spinach provide the highest levels of magnesium. All green vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and whole, unrefined grains are good sources of magnesium. Data from the 2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey concluded that a substantial number of adults in the United States do not receive the daily recommended amount of magnesium from diet alone, and older adults suffer from the lowest levels of magnesium.
