More DetailsCountry-Specific Dietary Shifts to Mitigate Climate and Water Crises
Vegan diets show the largest potential for a decrease in global greenhouse gas emissions and water use, followed by diets that limit animal products in varying degrees, with the exception of diets that eliminate meat but contain dairy and eggs.
More DetailsObesity and Cancer: Existing and New Hypotheses for a Causal Connection
In this review, the authors briefly review existing explanations emphasizing dietary direct mutagenic effects and hormonal imbalances of obesity-associated cancer risk. However, they then examine more recent evidence underscoring chronic inflammation in cancer risk that is potentially associated with diet.
More DetailsIngested Nitrate, Disinfection By-Products, and Risk of Colon and Rectal Cancers in the Iowa Women’s Health Study Cohort
The authors investigated the relationship between drinking water exposure to N-nitroso compounds (NOC), formed endogenously after nitrate/nitrite ingestion and disinfection by-products (DBPs), and incident colorectal cancers in a cohort of postmenopausal women. They also estimated nitrate/nitrite intakes from dietary sources.
More DetailsCOVID and Farm Animals: Nine Pandemics that Changed the World
The article examines nine zoonotic disease outbreaks in the past two centuries. Diseases from all over the word are covered and most are spread from contact with the animal or consumption of products from the infected animal.
More DetailsDo Alcoholic Beverages, Obesity and Other Nutritional Factors Modify the Risk of Familial Colorectal Cancer? A Systematic Review
From the abstract: “We conducted a systematic review of epidemiological studies investigating the associations between nutritional factors, family history of colorectal cancer, and colorectal cancer risk.”
More DetailsDietary Intake of Total, Animal, and Plant Proteins and Risk of all Cause, Cardiovascular, and Cancer Mortality: Systematic Review and Dose-response Meta-analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies
This review and meta-analysis of over 30 studies on adult humans found that high consumption of plant protein was associated with lower mortality from all causes and cardiovascular diseases, but not from cancer compared to low plant protein consumption.
