Soluble and Insoluble Dietary Fiber Consumption and Colorectal Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Devout consumption of foods loaded with fiber may help inhibit the formation, growth, and spread of cancerous cells in the colon and rectum.

​This study was conducted to ascertain the protective effects of high fiber diet against colorectal cancer. Researchers performed an in-depth and meticulous meta-analysis on data and evidence drawn out from eligible studies. 

Researchers observed that the greater the frequency and duration of consumption of fiber-containing foods, the better protected an individual is from colorectal cancer. This study provides robust evidence that following a diet that encourages the intake of foods rich in fiber may help to ward off colorectal cancer.
