	The colon The colon - also called the large intestine or bowel - is a hollow, tube-like organ 1.5 metres long and is situated at the end of the alimentary canal. This is where the final stages of digestion, absorption and elimination take place. The colon carries out a number of vital functions including:  absorption of water-soluble vitamins and the  synthesising of valuable nutrients, such as  Vitamin K  storage of waste, bacteria and intestinal gas  excretion of poisons and waste products A few other facts about the colon, first fact:  One in three people consulting their doctor  have a bowel problem  The UK has the highest incidence of bowel  cancer in the world, with 20,000 new cases  every year  More people are hospitalised with digestive  complaints than any other malady  Up to 23 kilograms of faecal waste can  accumulate in your bowel  The healthy transit time of food through our  bodies is less than 24 hours. However, in the  UK, it averages 60 hours for men and 70 for  women  When normal bowel function is compromised,  the whole body is at risk
