Sticking to a vegetarian diet may help thwart the development of cancer in the gastro-intestinal tract, including colorectal and gastric (stomach) cancer.

Researchers observed that consuming a vegetarian diet diminished the risk of having gastro-intestinal cancer, including colorectal and gastric (stomach) cancer. This study pointed out that adhering to a vegetarian diet may help foil the development of cancer in the gastro-intestinal tract.
