Colorectal Cancer Trends & The Role of Nutrition

Nelson Huber-Disla — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 11:49:09 +0000

In the greater context of the “war on cancer,” colorectal cancer seems a clear success. Compared to other cancer sites, incidence and mortality rates for colorectal cancer have improved tremendously. And there’s a chance that we would know much less about this disease, including how to prevent and treat it, if not for the concerted efforts of recent decades.

The animal agriculture industry does not want you to know how the sausage gets made. Whenever possible, they attempt to hide their operations from the public.

This led me primarily down the path of nutrition, and what I learned would change my life, and the life of my entire family, forever
