I guess I'll eat a few less steaks now. From today's Washington Post:
Colon cancer survivors who eat a diet high in red meat, fats and refined grains are more than three times as likely to have a recurrence as those who consume a diet high in fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables, researchers said. Scientists already knew that avoiding a high-fat diet could reduce the risk of contracting colon cancer, but this is the first study associating the diet with a recurrence of the disease. The results were reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. High-fat diets have not been linked to recurrence of any other type of cancer, with the possible exception of breast cancer, for which there have been conflicting results.
