Eat Beans to Avoid Colon Cancer

by laurel on July 30, 2007

Self Magazine reports that researchers from the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland found eating about two cups of beans a weak may lower your risk of colon cancer by 65% over a four-year period.  The polyphenols and fiber in beans may prevent harmful colon polyps from forming.  Self recommends tossing black, navy, lima, and pinto beans in your soups and salads.
