1. Avoid smoking & alcohol 2. Avoid excess sugar 3. Avoid refined carbohydrates 4. Avoid trans fats 5. Avoid processed meats 6. Eat enough unprocessed fiber 7. Do intermittent fasting YOU GOT THIS

The worst thing that happened is most people no longer cook their own food due to everybody working. They buy fast and prepared food.

I lost a friend to colon cancer last year. He wasn't an alcoholic or a smoker, but he did have health issues and a weak immune system. He was in his mid 50s. RIP Thomas Kutlow.

So don't eat anything at all. Got it. Thank you

My friends just lost their 19 year old son to colon cancer. We’ve grown to expect older people to get cancer but terminal colon cancer at 19 is just mind blowing. Devastating 😔.

My fiancé died of colon cancer at 27. He was a health nut. Ran marathons only ate healthy foods lots of vegies, fruit whole grains etc. When it was discovered we thought it was his appendix’, he died within 18 months.

It’s sad how the big food companies get away with selling us food that’s killing us. This shows how sleep the average American is.

Goldmine of info in under 12 mins! You truly have a gift of eliminating the noise from signal. Sharp and to the point. Keep it up!

My boyfriends coworker just passed away at 23 from colon cancer. We are all shocked. Thank you for this.

Dr. Abramson said on JRE podcast 80% of our health is due to our lifestyle choices. Look at how many young people are overweight/obese. They consume fast food and energy drinks like they are going out of style.

Good video. I recently reversed my NAFLD (fatty liver) through the tips provided in this video. No alcohol, white flour, sugar or processed foods. Took me 5 mos. Add in vigorous exercise (I ran 1 mile per day). Brisk walking helps too. Know your familial history and get regular blood screening. My heart improved dramatically and I felt much better.

My dad's sister died from colon cancer in her early forties and a former elementary school classmate of mine died from it when she was forty. They were both such loving and selfless people and I wish they had gotten to live to be so much older.

I’m 33 and have had 60 polyps removed in the past year. Colonoscopies saved my life. It’s never too early to get checked!

Thank you Dr. Mike for letting us know more about this very important topic!

Good morning Dr. Mike from our farm in New Hampshire. New to your channel. Looks like I had the correct information in general to promote good health, but lacked the knowledge to put everything in the right context. So thank you for this helpful video. It makes for a wonderful Christmas present and a good start to 2023. My husband and I are over 70 and still active on our working family farm ( grass fed beef- commercial hay- commercial logging). So we are in the fresh air, countryside. No smoking and limited alcohol. Occasional bacon. Limited grilling/smoking oils. I do IT Fasting in the morning. Thats the good news >>> Now I have to drop weight, walk more, watch the sugar/white carbs/dairy/processed foods. And increase organic vegetables/fiber. Got it! So thank you again for laying it out on the line to get me back on track! Merry Christmas! ~ Diane

My college friend died of colon cancer in her 20's. Thanks for the life-saving info, doc.

Dr Mike , I appreciate u soo much for taking time out your day and keeping us informed, merry Christmas my guy

My late mother, born in 1921, would always tell us to eat more “roughage” aka fiber. Guess she was right!

Awesome Doc! Thanks for discussing these issues in a very informational and unbiased way. The evidence is clear on what we should be doing to improve our health. It's just a matter of people deciding to make the change. Waiting until we are sick is not a good strategy.

Broccoli sprouts…eat your organic greens. Turmeric for inflammation. I’m 74 family has colon, stomach and ovarian cancer. Their eating habits were horrible. They’re all gone. I’m healthy all organic, gluten free for years. You are what you eat I do believe.

why do we need a gross farting noise in the middle of this video?

Best internet doc hands down. Just says it straight, no bs or ego trip, and presents like a straight up, well informed, nice guy.

Great information. I will go over this video often to keep these vital points in mind. Thank u doctor!!!

5:07 The sound really captured the emotion of this piece.

I pretty much figure living life at all causes cancer at this point. How to avoid cancer: 1. Don't eat 2. Don't drink anything, even water is contaminated now 3. Don't breathe 4. Don't touch anything 5. Don't ingest any substance at all actually 6. Sleep but don't sleep too much or too little 7. Don't look at things 8. Stay cold and hot simultaneously 9. Exercise every minute 10. Get enough rest. 11. Avoid the sun but also get enough sun. 12. Avoid humans but also interact with them. 13. Avoid technology. 14. Don't think too much but don't be thoughtless. 15. Don't go to work or get a job. 16. Probably just don't come to Earth (Joke 😂)

Great video! I am 52, I had a colonoscopy as a preventative measure ordered by my primary. They removed a precancerous polyp. I can not stress enough how bad people make the procedure seem when it is truly not that bad. If your primary is suggesting you to get a colonoscopy, do it! It is an easy way to prevent colon cancer when you get older.

I love the sound effects and hand drawn illustrations! 😂 You’re a treasure!

Thank you for talking about smoking points, those are very crucial

So, basically, everything I've been eating, I have to cut down or out. It's so hard eating healthy when you're stuck in a bad eating habit. I don't sleep well, and I've noticed some signs of pre-diabetes, unfortunately. Watching this has reminded me to keep trying.

What I don’t understand is. If these things are bad for you why are they allowed to sell it?

Thank you very much for your channel. I wish you many success with it!

You are a treasure! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. I wish I could find a doctor in my area who had even a tiny fraction of the knowledge you have. The doctors in my area just push paper around and seem to know nothing! I am glad you are on this site so I can learn from you. Thanks again!

You are the Good Doctor. 🙏🏼

Thank you, Dr Mike. I wish we'd been brought up knowing this stuff. My generation wasn't. Sometimes I'm afraid to go to the supermarket to try finding anything I like that's not bad for me.

A great introduction to this issue. My only criticism of the video is the use of unnecessary sound effects. They take away from the otherwise excellent presentation.

Extremely addictive 👌🏽 just when I thought it was no other DR interesting to listen to this DR came with solid information… A little fast on the delivery but I got ALL the facts spoken 🏆🏆🏆🏆💯🆙

As a Geriatric NP I would also add the importance of staying well hydrated with water. Especially if one increases their fiber intake as you suggest. Otherwise, they have an increased risk of constipation and cramping which can lead to other complications. Hydration must be increased with an increase in fiber intake.

Your best lecture so far. Very informative and exceptional. 👍

Simple and great advice! I have been researching and experimenting with diet for over 20 years, and I have to agree. Well done

this video is perfectly simple, but not short on info.

I have lost almost a stone in the last 5 weeks (about 1 and a half stone more to go) and try to eat as little processed food as I can ... I only eat them as a treat on special occasions ... as opposed to nearly every day treats 😐. Now if I eat sugar or salt they taste much stronger than they did and I actually enjoy them more! You have helped me with my diet along with a couple more KZfaqrs ... You're doing great work ... Thank you.

Great info, thanks! Even those of us who ‘know’ these things benefit from reminders. Not only are young people increasingly developing colon (and other digestive cancers), they are suffering Crohn’s and IBS at alarmingly increasing rates. Along with everything you mentioned, I believe glyphosate (Roundup) is a key culprit. (I also wonder if it’s responsible for the fairly recent ‘epidemic’ of those sensitive to gluten).

very clear coincise information, very well presented without any theatherics, n u look good too...

These are great to know. Thank you!

Thank you for this information...Finally, you are talking about lowering sugar and carbohydrate consumption because this is not just about colon cancer but also other types of cancer and other diseases...Just take the average consumption of sugar per year now and 100 years ago. It is crazy the consumption of sugars has increased tremendously. :(

What worries me, Dr. Hansen, is that no one seems to want to talk about health anymore. On sports radio, of all places, they were talking about this. Growing up in the 80's-90's we got nutrition hammered into our little skulls, some of it dubious (food pyramid), but at least we were told to move and not to eat junk food. The radio hosts were saying they ask their kids about nutrition and good health, and they have no clue, no interest. They aren't hearing it at school. They don't see it on TV, or hear it on the radio (OK, I'm showing my age). It really worries me. My father grew up in the 60's and ate a typical 60's meat and potatoes diet, probably without a lot of processed food. Now he has diabetes. I grew up in the 80's with fruit loops and TV dinners, which we usually didn't get because we couldn't afford them - but I'm trying to improve my health because I'm pre-diabetic. My kids eat absolutely terrible diets because they have junk shoved on them from everywhere - usually for free. Where will they be in 20-30 years?

Thank you Dr for the information once again. God bless you

Thank you for sharing this ❤

A study in Japan involving over 40,000 men found that those who had the highest intake of magnesium had a greater than 50% reduced risk of contracting colon cancer. A study from the Netherlands showed a 19% reduction in colorectal adenomas (precursors to colon tumors) for every additional 100 mg increase in magnesium intake, there was a 19% reduction in colorectal adenomas (precursors to colon tumors). The researchers also noted that each additional intake of 100 mg of magnesium corresponded with a 12% reduction in colorectal cancer risk.

It's such a good content doctor. I saw the younger people in Indonesia had bad lifestyle, they drunk alcohol and soda, smoked, and eat fast food. And from that, they didn't did exercise well. So doctor, how the diet that effective to reduce the risk factors of coloreactal disease? And how it also can happened with younger people. I mean how about the symptoms and the pathophysiology of this disease?

Thank you for all the information as always very helpful & educational.

Incredibly knowledge presentation. Thank you.

The real cause of colon cancer is sedentary lifestyle and uncontrolled stress and anxiety, at least solely focusing on diet won't tell you the whole picture. My family and I are from south east Asia where we live we don't eat bread or corn syrup. I lost one family member to colon cancer and another just had a colon surgery, neither of them ate bread or even had access to corn syrup, though both were under heavy stress and were very sedentary (one was an overweight office worker and a heavy drinker and smoker and one is disabled and does not drink)

Truly believe bringing awareness on this topic very informative and important, I had my screening about 2 months ..Thanks Dr Mike .. I heard that😁

Always interesting, thank you.

Thank you so much Dr Mike ❤️

Intermittent fasting is excellent for the gut, as research has found that in a fasting ‘state’, the gut manufactures healthy enzymes that increase the immune system!!

Thank you for the information! (The sound effects are distracting and unnecessary.)

Thank You for this Video!

I had multiple health problem primarily the frequent tonsillitis, migraine, eosinophilia, running nose, drowsiness, frequent symptoms of cold, fewer, acidity, fatty liver, bloating, high cholesterol, elevated bilirubin count, irritable bowl syndrome, leaky gut syndrome, boarder sugar, frequent tooth aches. All gone in one go 20 years ago with liver and gut cleanse. Gone are the medicine too I used to consume around 5/6 of them daily. In 20 years I am yet to get cold fewer or allergies and absolutely no cholesterol, sugar level has crashed and so is my weight. You are the best doctor and our body has the amazing ability to heal itself. Believe in self healing and keep listening to very mild weak signals the body sends when it’s in trouble.

Two things to remember: 1. *Iodine is required for autophagy: iodine deficiency is associated with much higher cancer rates, especially breast, prostate and cervical.* 2. *All plant-smoke concentrates the radioactive elements absorbed from the soil: tobacco is worst (with polonium and radioactive lead), but all others must be avoided, too.*

Well…… in many of the European countries, and in Denmark we don’t ruin the grain like they do in the states… most of the bread is actually much healthier. I don’t know why they remove most of the healthy parts in some countries, but in my country mostly we don’t.

Thanks for info I'll let my doctor know

Great. Doing all of that ☺ Hoping for the best 🤞

How much of these cancers and illnesses are also further exacerbated by our environment? Plastic homes, vehicles, containers, packaging, etc. Our entire housing here in the US is just environmental aromatase producing containers. No wonder we see this huge uptick with new cancer formation in millennial and gen Z. Plastics are everywhere and all we can do is try and reduce our exposure till our bodies have had ample time through several generations to adapt to plastic waste in our bodies

Chadwick Boseman's death really got me thinking about my health. He left us too soon.

Dear Doctor Jensen, thanks a lot for replying also to my questions, highliting a very nice answer♥️😘

Very informative, thanks

Dr, how far away from major traffic ways should we live? In cities, this is challenging. But perhaps worth making a long term goal to move away from high traffic areas?

The Adventist Health Study found that those who didn't eat meat were significantly less likely to have multiple types of cancer, including colon cancer. They were also less likely to have ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.

Excellent!!! Thank you

You just scared the living daylights out of me.

Wait.. was that sound effect at [05:11] meant to be a good sign?

Very helpful video thank you

thank you Doc for this advice

Thank you for covering this important topic, Dr. Hansen! I know that you are a big advocate for intermittent fasting. I live without a gallbladder and was told by my surgeons and family doctor that I need to eat small portions of food every 2-3 hours. Otherwise, the bile will damage my intestines. Does it mean that I cannot do intermittent fasting or will my body adapt and release bile only during the window when I am eating? I would appreciate your opinion! Thank you in advance.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, there are about 26 grams of sugar in 8 ounces of white grape juice. That’s about 6 1/2 teaspoons of sugar

Very understandable video after watching Dr. Sinclair lectures.

I had a colonoscopy when I went on Medicare insurance I think 66 yrs old the doctor said come back in 10 yrs then I had my heart checked out the doctor said I was good to go then I had my lungs x-rayed doctor said they looked good so I went and rebuilt a 1991 42 ft sail boat which kept my A1C down to 6.1 for next 5 yrs after pandemic I sold boat and came home for last 4 months and barbecued all summer now my A1C is up to 7.4 and my BP is all over the place so I’m so great full for all the doctors on u tube for reminding me what I need to do to get healthy again

What should we eat when we really try to avoid refined carbs? Only meat, fish and vegetables?

Very good indeed Doc!

This is a response to the ad, not the video but a big thank you to Dr. Mike for posting this. My personal sentence is "Just work hard and be kind...memento vivere because Memento mori."

I follow a few KZfaqrs who have gotten cancer and they are barely in their 30’s. It’s very scary and confusing since some some are vegan while others are not, so you are not sure what is causing this cancer to arise.

So, after watching this video, here’s my big question: if this is all accurate, shouldn’t 98% of the world’s population have colon cancer already? Only a very small percentage of the world’s population, specifically from highly developed countries, have resources enough to avoid sugars, white rice, potatoes, and processed food altogether. Shouldn’t everyone from asia, india, and almost every single person in the united states have cancer already?

Great video, listen and learn.

Hi there, thank you very much for the precious content you developed here. Can you tell me more about the amino acids that what kind of role they have in developing colon cancer? I'm playing tennis and I consume amino acids (Essential amino acids, the brand is Now), is there any risk in that?

10 people whom had stage 4 colon cancer were all given injections of monoclonal antibodies once every week for 3 months and the cancer disappeared completely ! All 10 out of 10 ,100% clean ! If you have colon cancer tell your doctor about monoclonal antibodies !

My aunt survived colon cancer and brain cancer! She’s 75 and thriving while smoking a pack/day !

Thanks, Dr. Mike! 😊🥗

As a colon cancer survivor (stage 3) you don't want to go through this believe me between the surgery, the chemo, the colostomy bag your life is turned upside down get screened early don't put it off til it's too late !

Can you make a chart listing all of these things, that we can print out? Thanks.

I work with younger people. all they do is eat candy, vape and participate in extracuricular activities that would be hard on their colons.

Thank you Doctor, great information

He should do a follow up video that explains what you can eat to prevent colon cancer

Thanks for this info doc...could u tell us by chance if these mRNA shots has any link to the increase in cancers lately? There seem to be a massive increase in cancers and auto immune diseases since mass vaccinations took place...could u do some follow ups on this topic please....

RIP to the celebrities who died young of Colon cancer, including Chadwick Boseman and Billy Kametz

You’re the best!

I’m doing the carnivore cleanse this month.. just eating meat for World Carnivore month to reset. Been doing carnivore on and off since 2017. I cut back on a lot of the crappy food and got a battery of heart tests - 0 calcium score at 53. My little brother died of colon cancer so I’m trying to be here to take care of my aging mom who is also carnivore with me this month. Good luck everyone

I have been thinking about this and wondering if I would later down the line be susceptible to colon cancer, and I am not sure if my family has a history of it; and funnily enough as I've been thinking about this, new videos on this topic show up 🤔 *I have one question, is pure palm sugar (such as those from SEAn countries) beneficial compared to white refined processed sugar we have here in the west? Is there any benefits or adverse side effects compared to white sugar and high fructose C.S. in high amounts? Look forward to seeing your response!* *Palm sugar processing uses the natural palm tree and/or coconut sap and is boiled and reduced to make the end product, most do not add anything to it other than water to dilute the end product. Most are of yellow and brown color here in the west.*

I got the jab for my job. I only got 1. I should have left the job
