Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 This may be true for some people. But I have always been a big chicken and fish eater. And loved vegtables. I still ended up with colon cancer. Of course it runs in my family so perhaps the genetic type of colon cancer may be different. There are so many variables to everything. Only God knows and I Pray He will give someone the knowledge to find the answers we so badly need.
