The Proof with Simon Hill
Resistance Starch and Colorectal Cancer
Resistance starch, such as the one found in cooled potatoes, has been hypothesized to reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer. In a randomized controlled trial conducted on almost a thousand people with Lynch syndrome, a hereditary condition that increases the risk of colorectal cancer, researchers tested the effects of resistance starch and aspirin. Participants were given resistance starch, aspirin, or a placebo for a five-year period. After a 10-year follow-up, it was discovered that those in the resistance starch group had a 60% reduction in cancer incidence, compared to the placebo group. This reduction in risk remained consistent throughout the study, indicating the potential preventive benefits of resistance starch on colorectal cancer.
