Default Re: What does one do to lessen the chances of getting colon cancer?

The most common answer:

"Making the following lifestyle changes can help you prevent colorectal cancer, and lead to a healthier life:
Get five servings of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains a day.
Limit red meat and saturated fat.
Exercise five days a week for at least half an hour.
Quit smoking.
Avoid alcohol.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Screening for colorectal cancer is a very important prevention factor."

Although I've seen this info in a number of other places.
