EAT-FIBRE STUDY
Researchers at TwinsUK, a world-leading twin research programme, are investigating whether diet can help protect against early-onset bowel cancer.
Bowel cancer in people under 50 is rising. Diet may be key, and twin research can tell us why. This study will help us understand how the foods you eat shape your gut health and cancer risk.
