For those of us who are trying to add more chicken and fish to our diets and eliminate too much (not all, for crying out loud) red meat - there’s even more of an incentive.

A study at Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, NH has uncovered an excellent health benefit of eating chicken. Eating chicken regularly appears to cut a person’s risk of developing colon polyps by 21 percent. It contains selenium and calcium, which are two nutrients that lower a person’s risk of developing colon cancer.
