Nearly 50,000 people died from colorectal cancer last year. A plant-based diet can help prevent the disease. But when detected, it can often be successfully treated if caught early. If you are looking for a way to fight colorectal cancer or other cancers, the Humane Charity Seal of Approval recommends charities that are committed to providing vital services and care to patients or advancing research without the use of animals:
