Behandlat kött ökar risken för tarmcancer
People who eat too much red and processed meat increase their risk of bowel cancer by up to a third, according to a new study.[---]
The study also found the risk of developing bowel cancer increased for those people who had a diet low in fiber.
Poultry was not found to influence the risk, but the researchers did find that people who ate more fish faced less chance of developing the disease.
The risk of bowel cancer dropped by nearly a third (30 percent) for people who ate one portion or more of fish every other day -- compared to those who ate fish less than once a week.

Professor Sheila Bingham, a principal investigator of the study from the MRC Dunn Human Nutrition Unit in Cambridge, eastern England, told the Press Association: "People have suspected for some time that high levels of red and processed meat increase risk of bowel cancer, but this is one of the largest studies worldwide and the first from Europe of this type to show a strong relationship.
"The overall picture is very consistent for red and processed meat and fiber across all the European populations studied."
EPIC coordinator Dr Elio Riboli, of the World Health Organization International Agency for Research into Cancer, told PA: "This study of so many different populations and diets has provided an accurate picture of how different kinds of familiar foods in our diet relate to the incidence of bowel cancer. 1
