Hi All,

26-year follow-up of US veterans and a review.

Hi :

Funny you should mention that. I was just reading the Physicians

Health Study report (from 1996) saying that their analysis of the

prospective data from their 44,000 subjects suggested no significant

protection against colon cancer from either milk or calcium.

Superficially, they seemed to be saying, there does appear to be a

protective effect. But after adjustment for confounding factors the

apparent relationship disappeared.

As regards what is on the list now, it is getting to be so long it

seems that whatever you do (apart from drink milk of course) it is

supposed to protect against colon cancer. I checked out and

confirmed a number of the items Logan had added to the list. So

now .............

Take: statins, vitamin E & tocotrienols, calcium (???), coffee,

copper, exercise, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, vitamin D,

turmeric, zinc, tea, selenium, resveratrol (and other COX-2

inhibitors like rosemary and red grapes), CR, vitamin C (?), aspirin,

EPA & DHA, vitamin A, citrus pectin, insoluble fiber, colonoscopy.

Also take folic acid, it reduces incidence by a huge 75% but only

after 15 years of supplementing .............

Avoid: living at a higher latitude, eating red meat, smoking, being

over weight, diabetes, *excessive* alcohol cunsumption.
