Comparison of the Impact of Meat and Vegetarian Diets on the Occurrence of Colorectal Cancer Porównanie wpływu diety mięsnej i wegetariańskiej na występowanie raka jelita grubego
We recently read an interesting article by Yad Di et al. [1] describing the impact of a meat-based diet on gastrointestinal cancers. We were particularly intrigued by its implications for colorectal cancer. Meat-based diets continue to be one of the most commonly adopted eating patterns. In our opinion, this article addresses an important issue, and the analysis of the relationship between colorectal cancer and meat consumption may promote a shift towards a vegetarian diet. As known, colorectal is one of the most prevalent cancers, and a modifiable factor influencing its occurrence is diet.
In this scientific study [1], 40 cohorts covering a total of 3,780,590 individuals were selected. Analyses indicated that higher consumption of red meat was associated with an increased risk of both colon and rectal cancer. This association has also been investigated by other researchers. A study conducted by Bernstein et al. demonstrated a strong correlation between the amount and frequency of meat consumption and colorectal cancer [2,3]. Additionally, studies have noted that increased consumption of grilled, stewed, or processed red meat also raises the risk of colorectal cancer [4].
