increased risk of colorectal cancer.

HIGH SUGAR AND REFINED CARBOHYDRATES

cancers, including those of the mouth, throat,
liver, breast, and colon, with risk escalating
with higher consumption levels.

A diet high in fruits and vegetables provides
essential nutrients and antioxidants that can
protect against cancer by neutralizing free
radicals and preventing cellular damage.

WHOLE GRAINS AND FIBER
Foods high in dietary fiber and whole grains can
lower the risk of colorectal cancer by aiding
digestion and preventing the formation of
cancer-causing compounds in the digestive tract.
