Sauerkraut and Pickled Vegetables

Sauerkraut and pickled vegetables are the single best food category for preventing colon polyp growth. Sauerkraut and pickled vegetables provide an advantage over probiotic supplements by supplying both the live bacteria and the fiber that feeds them. Regular, moderate consumption throughout the week is recommended rather than large single servings. The protective effect of sauerkraut comes from its content of lactic acid bacteria, specifically an L+ type Lactobacillus.
