After starch enters the colon, the bacteria in the colon break it down. During the decomposition process, starch accelerates the excretion of waste that may cause colon cancer from the digestive tract. Foods rich in starch are often rich in potassium, which plays a vital role in maintaining the excitability of intestinal nerve muscles, is conducive to smooth bowel movements, and plays a role in preventing colon cancer.

Secondly, after fermentation, some starch-rich foods, such as vinegar, fermented black beans, and yeast-cooked bread, increase the content of immune active substances such as B vitamins, which is beneficial to maintaining the balance of intestinal flora and removing carcinogens. In addition, starch will produce a large amount of butyrate through the action of fermentation enzymes in the intestine. Butyrate is an effective inhibitor of cancer cell growth. It can directly inhibit the reproduction of colon bacteria and prevent the production of cells that may cause cancer in the inner wall of the colon. Therefore, eating more starchy foods can effectively prevent colon cancer.
