“… 1 The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is lower in Maori, although this population presents with more advanced disease than do non-Maori populations. 2 , 3 In the early 2000s, the comparative rates of adenomas among New Zealand Europeans and Maori were 16.7% and 8.7%, respectively. 4 However, National cancer statistics indicate that this gap has more recently closed, with New Zealand Europeans recording an age standardized CRC rate of 42.8 per 100,000 compared to 33.3 per 100,000 among New Zealand Maori, and both populations showing similar death rates due to CRC.…”

BackgroundAnthocyanin-rich foods and preparations have been reported to reduce the risk of life-style related diseases, including cancer. The SL222 sweet potato, a purple-fleshed cultivar developed in New Zealand, accumulates high levels of anthocyanins in its storage root.MethodsWe examined the chemopreventative properties of the SL222 sweet potato in the C57BL/6J-APCMIN/+ (APCMIN) mouse, a genetic model of colorectal cancer. APCMIN and C57BL/6J wild-type mice (n=160) were divided into four feeding groups consuming diets containing 10% SL222 sweet potato flesh, 10% SL222 sweet potato skin, or 0.12% ARE (Anthocyanin rich-extract prepared from SL222 sweet potato at a concentration equivalent to the flesh-supplemented diet) or a control diet (AIN-76A) for 18 weeks. At 120 days of age, the mice were anaesthetised, and blood samples were collected before the mice were sacrificed. The intestines were used for adenoma enumeration.ResultsThe SL222 sweet potato-supplemented diets reduced the adenoma number in the APCMIN mice.ConclusionsThese data have significant implications for the use of this sweet potato variant in protection against colorectal cancer.

“… 6 The increase of these rates in recent years may reflect changes in lifestyle and particularly diet. 2 The traditional Maori diet follows a pattern different from the current eating habits. 7 Among the currently consumed tropical crops is the sweet potato or kumara ( Ipomea batatas (L) Lam.…”
