*Net growth=more than 1 mm increase in total adenoma diameter after three years.

†No net growth=less than 1 mm increase in total adenoma diameter after three years; no detectable change or regression.

‡Data for the whole study group of 87 adenoma cases

§Data for the 48 adenoma cases who only received placebo during the three years of intervention.27

¶Adjusted for smoking status.

**Adjusted for type of intervention and smoking status.
