According to a group of German researchers, a lifelong vegetarian diet can lead to a significantly lower risk of developing colon cancer. The study followed nearly 10,000 people, of whom about 2,000 were lifelong vegetarians. Over a period of five years, the researchers discovered far fewer cases of colon cancer among the vegetarians, compared to non-vegetarians. According to the study, a vegetarian diet can only reduce the risk of colon cancer if it is followed from birth.
