Newsweek - Cutting back on meat is a well-known way to reduce the risk of cancer, and a new study found evidence that the risk reduction might be greater than you think.
A study conducted by researchers from the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) found that some vegetarian diets are linked to significantly lower rates of cancer.
The researchers followed 79,468 Seventh-day Adventists from the United States and Canada over an average of 7.9 years.
All participants were cancer-free at the start of the study, which assessed diet through a validated food frequency questionnaire and tracked new cancer diagnoses via state and provincial cancer registries.
Some of the groups involved showed nearly a one-quarter reduction in risk compared with nonvegetarians.
