Anton Bilchik Analyzes Link Between Genetics and Diet for Colon Cancer Risks

While there is no cure for cancer, it has been shown that there are certain cases of genetics that can make people more susceptible to getting colon cancer. A recent study done in the Netherlands suggests that those with diets that are heavy in junk food are at an even higher risk than those who lead a healthier lifestyle. Dr. Anton Bilchik knows that the science is still developing and, because this is the first study to find a link between certain foods and higher colon cancer risk, there is much more to be done in terms of proof. However, it is always important to remember that leading a healthier life has many benefits that you can talk with your doctor about.
