Go Bananas for a Healthier Colon

November 21st 2008 10:27

From: Realage available free on the web

What do bananas have in common with corn, eggs, salmon, and spinach? Hint: a vitamin that’s great for your colon.

We’re talking about B6. And science shows that simply getting your share of this nutrient could cut your risk of colon and rectal cancer. A lot.

Big Time B Benefits
In one of the largest studies to date on B6 and colon health, people with the highest intake of the
vitamin -- from food and supplements -- reduced their risk of colorectal cancer by 20 to 30 percent. And this study is just one of many showing a benefit. Researchers suspect that B6’s role in the metabolism of folate -- another colon-friendly B vitamin -- might explain the protective effects.

A healthy colon is just one reason to load up on B6-rich foods. The mighty vitamin might also help stave off Parkinson’s disease and depression.

Katyzzz,

I wasn't aware my mother's humor was literature.

I got a new book in the mail today, though.

And yes indeed-my baby cousin loves them, too.

That's why monkeys have less chance of getting colorectal cancer than human beings, Katyzzz!
