Vitamin D and Calcium Help Kill Colon Cancer Cells

There are more reasons to take vitamin D and calcium than just bone health. It has been known for some time that vitamin D and calcium are associated with less colon cancer. Researchers at Emory University have now identified key gene signaling that helps explain how these nutrients work to help kill cancer cells and protect your health.

Lack of Folic Acid Linked to Colon Cancer

In new research scientists grew human colon cells in folate-depleted and folate-enriched tissue culture. A lack of folate was clearly linked to DNA damage, as well as numerous other gene-related changes favorable to cancer.

Colon Cancer, Obesity, and Inflammation

Several new studies into colon cancer have identified early changes that turn on wrong gene switches that in turn cause colon cancer. One study links obesity to colon cancer, the other study links digestive inflammation to colon cancer. The good news is that by taking proactive steps these adverse changes can be easily stopped.

Quercetin Inhibits the Formation of Colon Cancer

A new animal study shows that quercetin is so successful at reducing inflammation in the GI tract that it is able to prevent changes in the digestive tract that lead to colon cancer.

Dietary Factors and Colon Cancer Risk

A very large European study of 452,755 people has clearly established that the highest intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with the lowest rate of colon cancer.

DHA and Butyric Acid Work Together to Knock Out Colon Cancer Cells

Two staples of a healthy diet, butyric acid resulting from adequate fiber and DHA from fish, work synergistically to increase the destruction of colon cancer cells. This was demonstrated by in cell and animal studies.

Foreign Gut Bacteria Strike a Deal for Peaceful Co-existence

Our digestive tracts accommodate as many foreign cells as we have cells in our own body. This relationship has existed since the beginning of human evolution. We now have tools to explore communication between gut contents and human cells, a truly new frontier in health. One way that gut health is maintained is through a negotiated peace arrangement between the various populations of types of bacteria and the human immune system. That agreement can be shattered by poor diet, too much stress, or antibiotics. The peaceful bacteria can then take on the attributes of a hostile gang, the human immune system responds, and an inflammatory battle ensues. This can lead to irritable bowel, obesity, diabetes, or colon cancer.

Quercetin Lowers Leptin and Colon Cancer Risk

Obesity is a significant risk for developing colon cancer. A new animal study shows that quercetin was able to offset leptin resistance while at the same time preventing changes in the colon that lead to cancer.

Curcumin in the War on Cancer

Curcumin is now one of the most widely researched anti-cancer compounds in the world. Hardly a day goes by without a new study explaining some aspect of curcumin metabolism and how it helps prevent cancer or can be used in combination with standard cancer treatments to improve the effectiveness of these treatments.
