Gastroenterologist Recommends Fibre-Rich Drink Ingredients to Lower Colon Cancer Risk

Colon cancer rates are rising among young adults, prompting calls for earlier screening and increased awareness. Dr Joseph Salhab, a US-based gastroenterologist, emphasizes that low-fibre diets may contribute to this trend. He recommends increasing fibre intake through a 'fibre cocktail' containing five fibre-rich ingredients, such as psyllium husk and flax seeds, which support gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria and producing anti-cancer compounds that help reduce colon cancer risk.
