Consumption of a type of starch that acts like fiber may help reduce colorectal cancer risk associated with a high red meat diet, according to a study. “Red meat and resistant starch have opposite effects on the colorectal cancer-promoting miRNAs, the miR-17-92 cluster,” said one researcher. “This finding supports consumption of resistant starch as a means of reducing the risk associated with a high red meat diet.”
