Newsday

Available for over a year

A new study has found that bowel cancer risk may be reduced by a rural African diet. Tests on subjects who swapped a fatty, meat-heavy diet for foods rich in beans and vegetables found a drop in biological markers for cancer in just two weeks. Professor Jeremy Nicholson from Imperial College London was involved in the study. (Picture: Fruit and vegetable stall at a market in Burkina Faso / Credit: Getty Images)
