Magnesium may reduce Colon Cancer risk

Researchers from the University of Minnesota followed more than 35,000 Iowa women for 17 years. Their diet and nutrient intake as well as incidence of colon cancer were analyzed.

The results were published in the American Journal of Epidemiology on February 1, 2006.
