Dietary patterns linked with cancer risk

Excerpt: "... researchers concluded that consumption of meat sharply increased risk of stomach cancer and esophageal cancer. For every 100 grams of meat consumed by subjects, risk for stomach cancer more than tripled. In addition to total meat, intakes of red meat and processed meat were each independently associated with incidence of stomach cancer, though less strongly.

The authors also found that the association between meat intake and stomach cancer was considerably stronger among subjects with populations of H. pylori bacteria in their stomachs. For every 100 grams of meat consumed by subjects with H. pylori, their risk of stomach cancer was 5 times higher. (Although about 2/3 of the world population is infected by H. pylori, in Europe and the U.S. the infection rate is thought to be closer to 25 percent.)..."
