Summary

This article is behind a paywall. It has been included in the database and summarized below solely based on the content of the abstract.

This study looked at the influence of anxiety on the association between red/processed meat consumption and cancer risk. Analyzing data from 101,269 subjects (from the NutriNet-Santé prospective cohort), the study found that increased red and processed meat consumption was correlated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). The risk was more pronounced in participants who were more anxious. Analyzing heme iron also yielded similar results. The findings align with previous studies showing an increase in CRC risk through the consumption of red and processed meat and heme iron, and suggests anxiety increases these risks.
