                                Estimates suggest that 25–35% of the risk for developing adenomatous polyps could be altered by changing dietary and lifestyle habits. This strong evidence confirms that a person's diet can indeed significantly affect the risk of adenomatous polyps, the primary precursor to most colorectal cancers.
