Eating Nuts Linked to Lower Risk of Colon Cancer

Now, new findings from South Korea suggest that a nut-rich diet may also reduce a person's risk of colon cancer. Eating a serving of nuts three or more times a week appeared to have a big effect on risk, said Dr. Aesun Shin, an associate professor of preventive medicine at Seoul National University College of Medicine in South Korea and an author of the study. This may be due to the availability of peanuts in South Korea, the researchers said.
