23 May 2019 --- A modeling study published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum estimates the number, proportion and type of specific cancers associated with the consumption of certain diets and sugar-sweetened beverages among US adults. One of the main findings is that an estimated 38.3 percent of colorectal cancer cases in 2015 were linked to sub-optimal diets. The analysis is cited as one of the few to focus on the modifiable risk factors for cancer connected to food intake in the US. Authors also recommend this should be in greater focus as a preventative measure against the disease.
