Vegaration diet: Vegetables, nuts, grains and fiber without red meat is the best diet to reduce the risk of colon cancer. Hunzicuts (in tibet) eat lots of apricots and almonds, and they have the lowest cancer rate in the world (but they also have no stress, no caffeine, no wine, no smoking etc). Non-processed, natural foods give you the best overall health. Go vegetarians!

Basically none: Despite all the hype, the claims about roughage preventing colon cancer and meat causing it simply have not held up. Epidemiologic studies are so inconsistent that I think the correct answer is the one I've given you. If you're concerned, keep up good surveillance and catch any colon cancers early.
