Monday Matters #26

   Colorectal Cancer sucks! It is a cancer that affects the colon or rectum. Wouldn't it be great to stop or just even reduce the chances of getting this type of cancer? People who follow a vegetarian diet are doing just that! New research shows that these vegetarian diet eaters had a 22% lower risk for Colorectal cancer  than people who don't follow a vegetarian diet and ate meat. The ones performing the research also put into play age, race, and sex of the vegetarians and the general population of America. They had 27% fewer cases of Colorectal Cancer than you would expect for someone because of their age, sex, and race. When in comparison, vegetarians looked stronger in percentages than the meat eaters did.
