Marie Claire reports that a large study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition of over 50,000 men and women found that vegetarians get far fewer cancers. However, the study found unexpectedly that vegetarians get more colorectal cancer.
However, the study of 52,700 men and women, which was published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, wasn’t all good news for vegetarians. It was discovered, too, that vegetarians were more likely to have colorectal cancer.
This was surprising as it seems to contradict previous evidence that eating lots of red meat increases the risk of developing the disease.
The Telegraph is also reporting on the research. They note that fish-eaters also had a lower risk of cancer than meat eaters. There’s also been news recently of a study that found that mushrooms may help ward off breast cancer.
