Ginger supplements prevent colon cancer

Reading time: 1 minute

Ginger supplements prevent colon (colorectal) cancer – one of the most lethal types, researchers have discovered. Its anti-inflammatory qualities may also help a range of other diseases, too.
A research team from the University of Michigan Medical School tested 30 patients who were either given two grams of ginger root supplement every day for 28 days or a placebo.
At the end of the trial, those given the ginger supplements saw “significant reductions” in markers of colon inflammation, one of the most important precursors of colon cancer.
