Navy Bean Reduces the Risk of Colorectal Cancer, Researchers show

By Kyle J. Norton

Colorectum is the digestive organ containing the colon and the rectum.

The colon-formed part of the large intestine plays a critical role in re-absorbing fluids and processing waste products from the body for elimination.

The colon consists of four parts: descending colon, ascending colon, transverse colon, and sigmoid colon

The rectum or the part of the large intestine nearest the rectum plays a temporary storehouse for feces.

Colorectal cancer is a chronic condition characterized by abnormal proliferation of cells in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix.

Colorectal cancer is a relatively very common and slowly growing cancer in the US. colorectal cancer has also been found to progress in a predictable way.
The disease is more common in people over the age of 50. Regular colonoscopy after age of 50 is valuable to detect the disease in the early stage, thereby increasing the rate of survival.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer, including cancer in the colon or rectum is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women combined in the United States.

Approximately, in 100 cases of colorectal cancer, 71% of cases arise in the colon compared to 29% in the rectum.


The most common types of colorectal cancer classified depending on the primary originated cells are
* Adenocarcinomas
Most bowel cancers are adenocarcinomas, originating in epithelium tissues, including the surface layer of skin, glands, and their tissues that line the cavities and organs of the body.

* Squamous cell cancers
Squamous cells are the skin-like cells that make up the bowel lining together with the gland cells. Squamous cell cancers are rare with the risk of 25 per 100000 population.


The small, white navy bean, also called pea bean or haricot, popular in both dry and green forms, is very popular in Britain and the US, native to Peru. It is now grown and consumed across the world, due to its numerous health benefits.

On finding a potential compound for the prevention and treatment of cancer, researchers examined the effects of consumption of navy beans (NB) and rice bran (RB) on CRC survivors' serum inflammatory biomarkers and telomere lengths.

The study included 29 subjects who completed a randomized controlled trial with foods that included cooked NB powder (35 g/day), heat-stabilized RB (30 g/day), or no additional ingredient.

According to the tested analysis,* NB or RB consumed equated to 4-9% of subjects' daily caloric intake. Increased consumption of NB or RB showed no effects on major gastrointestinal issues.

* Furthermore, NB or RB consumed increased dietary fiber amounts at Weeks 2 and 4 compared to baseline and to control.

* NB or RB consumed also increased the telomere length correlated with age and HDL cholesterol compared to baseline, accompanied by improving serum amyloid A (SAA) levels at Week 4.

Additionally, in CRC chemoprevention, in the study of the effects of eating SRB (30 g/day) or cooked navy bean powder (35 g/day) on gut microbiota and metabolites on colorectal cancer survivors, Dr. the lead scientist found that SRB or NBP showed increased gut bacterial diversity and altered gut microbial composition at 28 days associated with CRC prevention.

Collectively, these results strongly suggested that NB or RB consumption improves the parameters associated with CRC chemoprevention.

Taken altogether, the fermented navy bean may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
