Nutrient formulations for disease reduction

Human studies demonstrate that cancer is largely a preventable disease and that 35-40% of cancer incidence and mortality worldwide can be substantially reduced by changes in the human diet. Specifically, there is compelling worldwide evidence of an association between fruit and vegetable consumption and cancer risk reduction. Other human and animal diseases, as well, are influenced by diet and can be substantially reduced by changes in diet. Examples include diabetes (especially type II diabetes), cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimers disease, osteoporosis, and many others. Likewise, other physical conditions that involve bodily attributes or performance issues, other than diseases, may be affected by diet. The present invention relates to nutrient formulations useful in reducing (including preventing, delaying, inhibiting and/or treating) cancers and other human and animal (especially mammalian) diseases and physical conditions, methods of using such formulations, and methods of identifying such formulations and the components (particularly nutrient ingredients) to be included in the formulations to achieve optimal disease reduction. The instant invention provides a combination of multiple nutrients useful to reduce colon rectal cancer in a mannalian or human subject. Further, the combination provides synergistic ratios of the useful nutrients.
