Abstract:
What's new? Diet is known to affect risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), but what are the optimal intakes of foods remain unclear. In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, the authors investigated the association between 12 a priori ‐defined food groups and risk of CRC. Optimal consumption of risk‐decreasing foods (6 servings/day of whole grains, vegetables and dairy, and 3 servings/day of fruits) results in a 56% risk reduction. Consumption of risk‐increasing foods of 2 servings/day of red meat, and 4 servings/day of processed meat associated with a 1.8‐fold increased risk. A plant‐based diet can thus lead to an important risk reduction of CRC.
