US: Ginger root may prevent colon cancer

Ginger root may help some people prevent colon cancer, according to a new study published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research. Suzanna M. Zick, a naturopathic doctor at the University of Michigan Medical School, and colleagues found 2 grams of ginger root supplements taken daily, reduced markers of colon inflammation in a blind clinical study. Inflammation has been implicated in prior studies as a precursor to colon cancer. For the study, the researchers enrolled 30 patients who were each randomly assigned the ginger root supplement or a placebo to be taken daily for 28 days. At the conclusion, the researchers measured standard levels of colon inflammation and found statistically significant reductions in most of these markers, and trends toward significant reductions in others.
