This book describes the dietary habits (such as use of probiotics,
synbiotics, prebiotics and dietary fiber) that could modify and
reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). The book
will be of practical and scientific use to academicians, research
scholars, students, health professionals, nutritionists, etc. and
could support the cause of preventing CRC by adopting smarter food
habits. CRC is the third leading cause of death, in terms of both
incidence and mortality, among men and women. Excess consumption of
red and processed meat, roasted coffee, etc. have shown an increase
in CRC, indicating that compounds formed in food containing free
amino acids and sugars interact at elevated temperatures to form
mutagens or carcinogens. Standard treatment options for CRC include
invasive surgery and chemotherapy or radiation. Several lifestyle
and dietary factors could prevent this ailment. Probiotics,
prebiotics and synbiotics that are found in functional foods,
health supplements and nutraceuticals and short chain fatty acids
that are formed in the colon as a result of microbial fermentation
of undigested bioactive carbohydrates by Bifidobacterium and
Lactobacillus inhibit colonic epithelial cells and minimize
inflammation, thereby exhibiting immunomodulatory effects. This
book tries to address the novel unexplored benefits and mechanism
of action of these functional foods.
