High-Consumption Of Red Meat And Refined Grains Increases The Risk Of Developing Colon Cancer

A high consumption of red meat and refined grains increases the risk of colon cancer.

A new study shows that consuming too much of red meat and refined grains would likely have a higher risk of acquiring colon cancer compared to those who do not eat much of these foods.

The findings of the study were published in the JAMA Oncology. Fred Tabung, a researcher at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and other colleagues, led the study.

Tabung explained that a dietary pattern that is linked to higher levels of inflammation would chronically stimulate the bowels. This eating pattern could lead to the production of a consistently higher level of circulating inflammatory mediators that could contribute to the development of cancer. Tabung added that a pro-inflammatory diet includes a high consumption of red meat, processed meat, organ meat, refined grains and sugary beverages and low consumption of tea, coffee, dark yellow vegetables and green leafy vegetables.
