Dietary nutrient intake and cancer presence: evidence from a cross-sectional study
Specific dietary nutrients, notably saturated fats, carotenoids, and vitamin K, are associated with increased cancer presence, whereas phosphorus intake is associated with the reduced cancer presence. Due to the cross-sectional nature of the study and the measurement of dietary intake after cancer diagnosis, a causal relationship could not be established. These findings underscore the need for longitudinal studies to establish causality and inform dietary interventions in cancer management.
