Diet plays an important part in preventing colon cancer. Fiber helps to move waste faster so that the digestive tract bacteria do not stick on the colon walls to cause tumors and eventually cancer. Fiber binds with cholesterol and fatty bile acids to eliminate them as wastes. Taking antioxidants in supplements or natural foods help in neutralizing cancer causing free radicals in the body.
