Childhood energy intake and cancer mortality in adulthood

Article Abstract:

Animal studies from the early 1900s suggest a reduced calorie diet can decrease the incidence of tumors. A British study from the 1930s found a positive correlation between childhood energy intake and adult cancer mortality. Fat intake may be associated with cancers of the prostate and colon. Many animal studies induce cancer by the application of chemicals, radiation, or viruses, so their results may not be relevant to humans.
