In my research and reading, I'm finding a lot of evidence for connection between a typical American/Western diet (which, admittedly, I started backing away from about 5 years ago), and colon cancer.

The subject of diet and cancer incidence at least bears checking out imho.  Here's a link for those who are interested in finding out more:

There's so much good information out on the web and in books about colon cancer, my body's (apparent) disease of choice, that I would be wasting my time to try to recreate it here.  So this colon cancer Blog will not be a wiki or anything of the sort regarding this disease.

Instead, I intend to share news I believe will be helpful to folks who are interested in prevention, in determining their risks, or who may (like me) have colon cancer and need some handy links they haven't run across yet.

Today's entry?

A link to a new tool that helps predict one's risk for colon cancer if you are:

A. Over 50

B. Non-hispanic and White.

(I don't make the tools, I just share them so please know I'd rather have a tool that's much more comprehensive/covers more racial groups to share).

Here's the link.  http://www.cancer.gov/colorectalcancerrisk/

Check it out if the shoe fits.
