3. Buttered Corn
Corn fiber contains a compound called inositol hexaphosphate. This compound can prevent the growth of colon cancer according to a research study conducted by the University of Maryland. Adding some real butter to your corn will add in conjugated linoleic acid, which is another cancer-fighting agent. The great thing about corn is that it also contains a lot of other vitamins and nutrients that your body needs in order to remain healthy.
Even though it seems like the body does not digest corn very well, it is often called a colon sweeper food as it can help to clean out the colon as it passes through the digestive system. You can eat corn as a side dish with almost any meal that you are having. Try adding some real butter, not margarine to the dish to increase its cancer-fighting qualities and to reduce the risk of colon polyps developing.
