Yellow fruits and colorectal cancer.

Data about yellow(/orange) fruits was provided by 2 cohorts.
A nonsignificant protective effect against total colorectal cancer risk was found among men, but not women, in a cohort of very large size (30). And a nonsignificant protective effect against colon cancer risk was found in one small cohort, examining men only (4).

Conclusion: Protective effects among men were found in 2 cohorts, but both effects were nonsignificant. Inconclusive evidence was found for an association between yellow fruits and colorectal, colon, and rectal cancer.
