Can long term consumption of psyllium husk help prevent colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The idea: Is appealing, in that it promotes regularity, and a theory of duration of carcinogens as cause of colorectal cancer makes sense. However, I do not know that there are objective, controlled data, i.E one group got it, the other group a placebo, and follow up for many years.
