On average, 4,800 participants in a study have recorded their meat consumption over a period of 19 years. The analysis now suggests that poultry meat eaters were more likely to develop cancer.
Poultry meat is considered a healthy alternative to other types of meat. It is low in fat and rich in protein.
A new Italian study from the National Institute for Gastroenterology aims to spoil the taste for consumers. It claims that consuming more than 300 grams of poultry per week "drastically" increases the risk of dying from colorectal cancer.
According to the study published in the journal Nutrients, over 4,800 individuals in Southern Italy were observed for 19 years, as reported by the Frankfurter Rundschau. It was found that poultry meat eaters had a 27% higher cancer risk compared to those consuming less than 100 grams of chicken. The risk of dying from gastrointestinal cancer was even 127% higher.
Men are said to be particularly affected. The risk of dying from gastrointestinal cancer increased by 2.6 times compared to men with low poultry consumption.
Caution, significant inaccuracies!
As expected, the study has faced criticism from various sources. A German nutrition scientist, for instance, warns of caution due to the study being purely observational and participants having filled out meat consumption questionnaires themselves. Without proper scientific supervision, this poses significant inaccuracies.
Furthermore, the study only shows a statistical association, not a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
Other researchers point out that important influencing factors such as meat preparation methods or processing levels were not considered in the study. Additionally, other health factors like physical activity were not recorded, even though they can have a significant impact on mortality.
