| Description | The aim of the article is to summarize the current knowledge about the influence of nutrition on cancer risk and the resulting nutritional recommendations for its prevention. At the same time, fundamental attention is paid to the requirement for the quality of evidence, and thus for the substantiation and legitimacy of the recommendation. On the one hand, there are factors that increase the risk, in particular the high consumption of red meat, and especially processed meat, alcoholic beverages, salted foods, and excess body fat. On the other hand, there are risk-reducing factors, namely whole grains, vegetables and fruits, dairy products, or coffee. The recommendations are directly based on the above proven findings. The diet should be varied and balanced, with a predominance of plant resources and, conversely, a limitation of red and especially processed meat, with a limitation of alcohol. Weight should be kept in a healthy range, and dietary supplements are not recommended. |
