Abstract in brief

  • The study found that Norwegian women who consumed more ultraprocessed foods (UPF) had a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer, especially cancers located in the right side of the colon.
  • The research used a large group of women (77,100 participants) over about 17 years, analyzing dietary habits with a validated questionnaire and applying statistical models to find associations.
  • Results indicate that higher UPF intake is linked to increased overall CRC risk and specific subsites like the right-sided colon, but further studies are needed to understand how different types of UPF impact various parts of the colon.]

超加工食品は大腸がんリスク！ はすでにわかっているけど最新研究によると 超加工食品の摂取が多いと 大腸がんリスク24%増加 右側結腸がんリスク58%増加 超加工食品は慢性炎症の促進作用がありそう。 控えるにこしたことはないってことですね。 https://t.co/cNc6O5mg6j

@ggkuhnle In this recent paper from the Norwegian Women and Cancer cohort, too. Even though they did find an association with colorectal cancer. https://t.co/25PuUMu50w https://t.co/1CYybH9fja
