Cancer: Starchy banana could cut your risk by a whopping 60% - study

Between 1999 and 2005, almost 1,000 participants started to take either resistant starch in a powder form every day or a placebo.

While there was no overall difference between those who had taken the starch and those who had not, the follow-up still found something exciting.

During the follow-up, there were just five new cases of cancers among the 463 participants who had taken the resistant starch.

In contrast, the placebo group, which comprised of 455 participants, had 21 new cases of cancer.
