The website discusses a study from the Zhejiang University School of Medicine, revealing that certain foods and drinks may increase the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Analyzing data from 118,210 participants in the UK Biobank study, researchers identified alcohol and white bread as contributors to CRC, irrespective of genetic factors. Notably, ethanol in alcohol and the nature of white bread were linked to heightened risks, aligning with prior research.
Conversely, the study highlighted six elements—fiber, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and carbohydrate intake—that were associated with reduced CRC risk. The findings emphasize the critical role of lifestyle choices in cancer prevention, with experts underscoring the importance of a healthy diet rich in high-fiber foods.
While acknowledging the study’s substantial size and design, experts caution that the analysis was limited to a European population, urging further research for broader applicability. A registered dietitian notes that the results demonstrate associations, not causation, urging a holistic view of dietary and lifestyle behaviors to assess and mitigate cancer risks.
The website concludes by providing additional context on colorectal cancer, its prevalence, and contributing factors, reinforcing the significance of overall nutrition quality and consistent healthy habits.
