Abstract in brief

  • The meta-analysis indicates that higher consumption of nuts and legumes is associated with a modest reduction in the risk of colorectal cancer, with a stronger protective effect observed in Asia for nuts.
  • The study found that increasing nut intake by one serving per day reduces colorectal cancer risk by about 33%, and increasing legume intake by one serving per day reduces the risk by about 21%.
  • Overall, the evidence for a clear link between nuts and legumes and colorectal cancer risk is weak, especially outside of Asia, highlighting the need for more detailed, well-designed research.]
