Default colon cancer

I'm happy doing the LC thing. I'm an ethical vegetarian and preached to all who would let me -- for years -- that a diet full animal fat is bad for you, as well as unethical (in terms of our duties to animals and the planet).

Well, check out the surprises that life had in store for me. Now that I'm eating tons of animal fat in the form of cheese, mayonnaise, butter, and eggs, I'm losing weight, my cholesterol is down, my fingernails are healthy & strong for the first time in years, my hair is thicker, I have more sustained energy . . . . etc.

I buy all my animal products from humane and organic producers so I don't feel TOO bad about it.

But I had one concern. Diverticulitis runs in my family and I'm worried about colon cancer.

When I was eating a high carb diet, I would poop about three times a day (no kidding), and was sure that I would never develop colon cancer.

Now that I poop maybe once every other day, I'm worried.

Thoughts?
