Chemoprevention of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been the focus of intensive research for more than two decades. Here, Ricciardiello, Bazzoli and Fogliano discuss the association between fruit and vegetable intake and CRC risk, and the chemopreventive activities of dietary phytochemicals. They argue that a single-agent 'magic' pill for CRC chemoprevention doesn't exist and that consuming a complex mixture of phytochemicals may be the answer.
