Nutritional Epidemiology—There's Life in the Old Dog Yet!

Abstract: Consideration is given to the idea that the nutritional epidemiology of cancer is dead, as some in the media have claimed. The basis for the claim does not lie in science nor has anyone with relevant knowledge made such a statement-although that, too, has been claimed. Evidence is adduced for the importance of past achievements of nutritional epidemiology. Attention is similarly drawn to recent contributions. In particular, I note the state of play of cancer and plant foods, fat and breast cancer, meat and can… Show more

“…Individual dietary components are often credited for increasing (eg, red meat consumption) or decreasing (eg, fiber) CRC risk, but the evidence is uneven and relatively weak. 47,48 For example, individuals in the highest quartile of red meat consumption have an approximately 40% increased risk of CRC over individuals in the lowest quartile. 49,50 This association was observed in retrospective studies but was not significant in prospective studies.…”
