The EPIC nutrient database project (ENDB): a first attempt to standardize nutrient databases across the 10 European countries participating in the EPIC study (2007, background): “Different EPIC papers on food intakes and cancers (Bingham et al., 2003; Norat et al., 2005; Van Gils et al., 2005; Engeset et al., 2006) and other outcomes (Sabaté et al.”
Potential beneficial effects of butyrate in intestinal and extraintestinal diseases. (2011, positive): “Several epidemiological studies support the role of dietary fiber in the protection against colorectal cancer [21-26] .”
The Impact of Diet and Lifestyle on Gut Microbiota and Human Health (2014, background): “Smoking and lack of exercise can significantly impact the large bowel (and potentially the microbiota) as they are risk factors for CRC [37].”
Meat, fish, and colorectal cancer risk: the European Prospective Investigation into cancer and nutrition. (2005, positive): “…cancer risk is positively associated with high consumption of red and processed meat and inversely associated with the intake of fish and confirm in a larger number of case patients our previous results (22) of a significant inverse association between intake of fiber and colorectal cancer risk.”
Nutritional aspects of cereals (2004, background): “No food source of fibre was found to be significantly more protective but the results suggested that in populations with a low average intake of dietary fibre, doubling of total fibre intake from foods could reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 40% (Bingham et al. 2003).”
American Cancer Society guidelines on nutrition and physical activity for cancer prevention (2002, positive): “however, other large prospective cohort studies have provided evidence that fiber intake, especially from whole grains,(168) is associated with a reduced colorectal cancer risk.(230,231) While the evidence is still evolving, it is reasonable to suggest that fiber intake and consumption of whole-grai”
