A carbohydrate-rich diet may be kick-starting certain gut microbes to produce chemical signalls that drive abnormal cell growth and increase the risk of cancer, according to new research in mice.
The makeup of microbes living in our gut may be a risk factor for colorectal cancer and could drive the development of intestinal tumours, say researchers.

Consumption of junk food and snacks could significantly increase the risk of certain cancers in people with a pre-defined high risk due to a genetic condition, warn researchers.

Western diet are associated with an increased risk of colorectal
cancer, says new research from France.
A diet rich in certain flavonoids, from eating plenty of fruit and
vegetables, could reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by over 40

Quercetin and curcumin, compounds found naturally in onions and

Benefits and risks of coffee drinking on consumer health are the

A diet with a high glycaemic load could increase the risk of
colorectal cancer, find US scientists following recent research on
nearly 40,000 middle-aged women. Findings are set to further fire
the ongoing debate on the value of carbohydrates...
Findings from a massive European-based study published in this
week's The Lancet suggest that a high fibre diet could

More than half of all gastrointestinal cancers are estimated to be
related to diet, write European researchers this week. It is
consequently of utmost importance to identify the components in the
diet that may reduce (or induce) colorectal...
