Try This Bread for a
Healthier Colon
Of the dozens upon dozens of choices you face in the bread aisle these days, here's a variety of bread that might help boost your colon's natural
defense mechanisms: oat bran.
 
  In a new study, eating four slices of oat-bran bread every day for 8 weeks was associated with higher colon levels of special gut-protective
compounds.

A True Wonder Bread
 
  These compounds -- called carboxylic acids -- help defend against diseases such as ulcerative colitis and colon cancer. The compounds form when
people eat foods that have indigestible bits, like insoluble fiber. And oat bran happens to be rich in fabulous beta-glucan fiber. In the recent study, the
participants ate oat-bran bread enriched with extra beta glucan, so it may be worth your while to check labels and find the highest-fiber brand of
oat-bran bread that you can.

Compounding Protection
 
  Carboxylic acids help your colon by improving the protective mucus found there, so harmful lesions are less likely to form. And one particular form
of carboxylic acid -- butyric acid -- may have souped-up inflammation- and cancer-fighting qualities as well.
