How many fruits per day i should eat to prevent colon cancer or polyps


How many fruits per day i should eat to prevent colon cancer or polyps?
i dont feed much on veggies cos i dont have time to cook. so i try to substitute it with fruits. how much fruits i need per day to prevent the horrible death of having colon cancer which leads bowel interuption and consequently vomitting fecal matter? i eat 2 bananas per day but im not sure it has enough fibre in it. now i added 1 piece of apple to my daily diet. is that enough?

I have been researching diet for cancer patients (see more on www.after-cancer.com) and you need to eat more fruit and veg. Doctors recommend AT LEAST five portions a day - veg. are better, but fruit is good. Why not snack on carrots sticks, cucumber, cherry tomatoes etc? But no diet can prevent cancer - all it can do is make you healthier so that if cancer comes, you are better able to recover. There is a lot of research that says that fruit and veg might prevent colon cancer, but so far no-one has come up with a definitive statement. Verite R

A diet low in fibre, including fruit and veg, is a risk factor for colon cancer. By eating plenty of fruit and veg we are doing all we can to protect ourselves against colon cancer, but no diet can guarantee prevention. Cancer's sneaky like that. Three pieces of fruit daily and no veg is not really enough for a healthy diet though. You should make the effort to include vegetables, especially green leafy veg, and grains.
