A recent study published in the journal 'Cancer Prevention Research' shows that walnuts, commonly consumed in Korea, can reduce the risk of colon cancer. Walnuts contain ellagitannins, which are converted by gut microbiota into urolithin A, a potent anti-inflammatory compound, potentially inhibiting cancer. Participants in the study who consumed 56g of walnuts daily for three weeks showed reduced inflammation markers and improved colon health. The research highlights the preventive benefits of walnuts, especially for those at high risk of colon cancer. Previous studies have also linked walnuts to improved brain function.
