It has been posited that helicobacter pylori may be a potential cause of colon cancer. This bacteria is commonly responsible for stomach ulcers. Many individuals already carry the bacteria without showing any symptoms, but person to person transmission is likely. Protect yourself and your loved ones from contracting and sharing helicobacter pylori.
Colon cancer is one of the most common causes of death classified just below lung and breast cancer and has been an important part of regular screenings. Though not conclusive yet, many cases among colon cancer patients also show an increased percentage of helicobacter pylori. A number of strains exist, many of which show resistance to medical treatment. A focus on clean living and health eating can help reduce the likelihood of being infected by the bacteria. Ingestion of foods such as red wine, broccoli, garlic, and green tea can help reduce buildup of bacteria.
Causes of transmission of helicobacter pylori are assumed to be through saliva, feces, and dental plaque. For this reason, proper sanitation of kitchens, bathrooms, etc is essential to reducing the spread of the bacteria. Simple measures such as cleaning, antimicrobial sprays and wipes, and proper hygiene can reduce the prevalence of the bacteria reducing the chance of transmission.
