The authors investigated the association of intakes of meat and fat with colon cancer in 45,496 women who completed a 62-item National Cancer Institute/Block food frequency questionnaire, and with 386,716 person-years of follow-up.
The study found:
(a) Total meat and red meat consumption indicated no association with colon cancer.
(b) Total fat consumption indicated no association with colon cancer.
(c) None of the other types of either meat or fat showed any association with colon cancer.
To quote the author: "This study provided no evidence of an association between either meat or fat (or any of their subtypes) and colorectal cancer incidence"
