First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study looks at how Western habits—like drinking alcohol and eating late—might raise the risk of colorectal cancer. Twelve adults who have had colon polyps in the past will try four different weekly routines, including eating at normal times or late, with or without alcohol. Researchers will take small tissue samples from the colon to see how these habits affect the body's immune response, sleep-wake cycles, and gut bacteria.
