Research Paper I. Question and Hypothesis 1.) Does fiber help prevent colon cancer? 2.) If a high fiber intake is taken daily, then the risk of colon cancer is reduced. 3.) Independent variable: Fiber Dependent variables: Incidences of colon cancer Control: Patients without colon cancer Other factors: Age, gender, duration of studies, dosage of fiber intake, general population, and patients' health status. 4.) The purpose of this research paper is to investigate scientific studies to determine if fiber intake …showed first 75 words of 2700 total…

…showed last 75 words of 2700 total…appears that insoluble fiber (found in whole grain breads and cereals, vegetables, some fruits and seeds) appears to be more effective than soluble fiber (found in oats, legumes, and some fruits). This was found to be true in the American study. People don't eat just one food at a time. It would be purposeful to look at the ways foods and risk factors interact for further future research to pinpoint the causes of colon cancer.
