Abstract
- Americans with leaky gut, or increased intestinal permeability, often develop chronic inflammation (colitis) and are at a greater risk for developing colorectal cancer (CRC).
- A poor diet, high in processed foods but low in fruits and vegetables, is another notable risk factor for CRC.
- Micronutrient supplementation reduces colitis and prevents progression to colitis associated colorectal cancer (CAC).
- Due to their high concentration of anthocyanins, black raspberries have demonstrated protective effects against inflammation in the body.
- Certain antibodies are indicative of inflammation which leads to CRC.
