No: No diet can prevent it but a low meat and high fiber diet is believed to help reduce your risk of developing colon cancer.

Maybe: Some evidence suggest a high fiber, limited red meat, taking calcium supplements and a baby Aspirin might lower the incidence. Getting a colonoscope and taking out polyps if they occur starting at age 50 will also have a significant impact on lowering your colon cancer risk. Hope this helps.
