Colon rectal higher with all that fiber? I’m a bit surprised by that.

I have a few friends that are “vegetarians.” I use the word parenthetically, because what most of them are are carb and milk fat addicts. They eat pasta, cheese pizza, french fries, bread, cereal; pretty much anything that isn’t meat or green vegetable. They have salads on occasion, but only if they are loaded down with cheese and high fat dressings.

Doesn’t look healthy to me.

There’s no direct connection between fiber and colorectal cancer. That was a myth based on a purely speculative article published decades ago, that somehow got accepted as “fact” until somebody actually tested the theory a couple of years ago. Similar to the myths about stomach ulcers being caused by excess stomach acid, often blamed on stress — now we know that the vast majority of ulcers are actually caused by a specific bacterial infection.

Don't be. It's another BS "research". All researches/ findings/ studies.. etc are BS by default -- unless there is a very very convincing argument that they are not. I don't believe anything any more these days.
