Colorectal Cancer Prevention with a Plant-Based diet

Abstract

Literally hundreds of studies have been conducted addressing the relationship of some type of plant foods or plant food constituents and cancer risk. A clear majority of these studies demonstrate that fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, tree nuts, spices, and seeds, as well as specific types of food within these categories including citrus fruit, tomatoes, cruciferous vegetables, soybeans, and wheat, for example, reduce the risk of one or more types of cancer [8][9][10][11]. On the other hand, a number of studies have examined relationships between processed and red meat intake and colorectal cancer, many of which have been summarized in at least one of four meta-analyses over the past decade [8,[12][13][14]. A systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies relating the amount of processed and red meat consumed to increased risk of colon cancer, showed that processed meat increased the risk of colon cancer by 58% per 100gm and red meat increased the risk of colorectal adenoma by 27% per 100gm [15].

Sentiment Analysis to Understand the Perception and Requirements of a Plant-Based Food App for Cancer Patients

“…The finding of a recent study indicates that greater adherence to a plant-based diet index (PDI) is inversely associated with the risk of breast cancer [15]. A plantbased diet is also valuable in the primary and secondary prevention of colorectal cancer where epidemiological studies show a 46%-88% reduced risk of colorectal cancer for those following a plant-based diet [16]. A study involving a good representation of an ethnically diverse population (including both men and women of Asian, American Indian, Black, and Caucasian ethnicities of different ages, smoker/nonsmokers, consumers, and nonconsumers of alcohol) reveals that lower consumption of vegetables, fruits, fiber, and whole grains is associated with higher pancreatic cancer risk [17].…”

“…Phytate has also an important role in the prevention of colon cancer. It can also inhibit experimental tumor growth and its metastasis (Rose & Strombom, 2019). Therefore, the overall positive and negative impact of dietary phytate must be considered.…”

“…Avoiding processed and red meat will reduce the exposure to nitrites and lower salt intake. The value of the plant-based diet rises even further when we consider that it lowers the risk of prostate, breast and colorectal cancer [61][62][63].…”
