一位重要的研究者在星期二說,飲食是僅次于吸煙的導致癌癥的原因,在發(fā)達國家飲食和酒精導致了大約三分之一癌癥。
牛津大學的提姆·凱博士在癌癥會議上說,科學家們正在研究特定的食物是怎樣導致癌癥的,但是他們知道,飲食、酒精和肥胖起了很大作用。
他說:“如果沒有肥胖的人,癌癥能夠減少5%。”
然而吸煙和大約30%的癌癥有關,飲食和大約25%的癌癥有關,酒精和大約6%的癌癥有關。
肥胖增加了乳腺、子宮、腸和腎臟得癌癥的危險,而人們知道酒精會導致嘴 、喉嚨和肝臟的癌癥。以上因素如果和抽煙共同發(fā)生,危險性就更大的。
凱在英國慈善癌癥研究會議上說,人們還不知道與癌癥相關的飲食中的其他因素,但是科學家們希望EPIC 研究能夠給出答案。EPIC研究正在比較十個國家50萬人的飲食和患癌癥的比例。
這個研究的早期結(jié)果揭示挪威、瑞典和丹麥消費水果和蔬菜的量在歐洲國家中是最低的,而意大利和西班牙的水果和蔬菜消費量是的。專家推薦每天至少食用五份水果和蔬菜來減少得癌癥、乳腺癌和前列腺癌。
EPIC 研究的帶頭科學家——凱說他們現(xiàn)在正在關注飲食 一些非常普遍的癌癥之間的聯(lián)系,包括直腸癌、乳腺癌和前列腺癌。
