Description

A study led by researchers with the Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Conn., published Wednesday, in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, is said to be the first to spotlight the effects of nut intake on colon cancer. Previously, nut intake has been associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance -- conditions often linked to colon cancer.The clinical study included 826 participants who were followed for a median of 6.5 years after treatment with surgery and chemotherapy. Participants who consumed at least two, one-ounce servings of nuts each week had a 42 percent improvement in disease-free survival and a 57 percent improvement in overall survival, researchers report.
