Diets Heavy in Meat Boost Risk for Certain Cancers
A new multicountry study provides more evidence that certain dietary and lifestyle factors can increase the risk of developing cancer.
Results from the study, published in the January issue of Nutrients, show that smoking and diets rich in animal products have the strongest correlations with cancer incidence rates.
The strongest correlation with animal products was seen in cancers of the female breast, corpus uteri, kidney, ovaries, pancreas, prostate, testicles, and thyroid, and in multiple myeloma.
In contrast, alcohol consumption was found to be significantly correlated with only colorectal cancer.
Added sweeteners were also associated with an increased incidence of brain cancer in women, and in corpus uteri, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. Cereals were associated with a decreased incidence of kidney and prostate cancer.
