Colon cancer is cancer that affects large intestines and it originates in the rectum that is several inches of the large intestine nearest the anus. A group of researchers has found out that they are some diseases that cause colon cancer (Moffitt, 2017). Most of those diets are those linked to chronic inflammation those foods are refined grains and red meats the cause development of colon cancer. Eating habits are the main causes of cancer, an individual who consumes food staffs that are likely to cause inflammation have 32 percentage chances of developing colorectal cancer. They cause stimulation of bowels leading to the production of a high level of inflammation mediators in circulation, contributing to the development of cancer. Those diets are organ meat, refined grains, sugary beverages, red meat and also low intake of coffee, tea Greenleaf vegetables and dark yellow vegetables (Diener, 2000).
Other causes of colon cancer other than diet include if one comes from a family with a history of colon cancer. If one have diseases like ulcerative colitis and does not get screened on time or also one has a personal history of polyps. Smoking and also being overweight and not taking aspirin cause high chance of getting colon cancer. Another course of colon cancer is high alcohol intake and diets low in methionine and folate (Ehrlich, 2000).
