Revealed! The Hidden Cause of Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is one of the deadliest cancers you can get.
By the time you realize you have it, it may have already started to spread.
Now, scientists have discovered a surprising new cause of colon cancer… one that most people have NEVER been warned about.
And protecting yourself against this threat is the key to staying cancer-free.
A recent study, published in the journal Science, describes a hidden cause of colon cancer.
The findings suggest that two gut bacteria (Bacteroides fragilis and Escherichia coli) can pierce the protective mucosal lining layer of your guts.
The two bacteria then work in combination, releasing toxins that damage DNA of the colon cells.
They also increase inflammation, and this combination leads to colon cancer.
We have blamed colon cancer on a lot (fried foods, stress, chemicals, etc.) and now we find that the bacteria in our own guts may be to blame.
What this tells us is that getting our gut health in order is the best tool we have to avoid colon cancer.
Let me show you how to improve your gut health.
Dr. Scott’s Healthy Gut Program:
- Probiotics are your easiest path to a healthy digestive system. I prefer a probiotic product that contains a fiber prebiotic along with good bacteria.
- Eat enough fiber to, not only help with regular bowel movements, but to also help stimulate healthy bacterial growth. I always suggest that people take both water soluble and water insoluble fiber. One of my favorite fibers is ground flax seeds.
- Throw away junk food, trans fats, processed, and chemical foods. All processed foods, trans fatty acids, artificial sweeteners, and alcohol harm the gut’s microbiome. Do what you can to limit these non-foods in your diet.
- Exercise doesn’t seem like the first place you would turn to help your digestive tract, but it has been shown to help encourage a healthy microbiome.
