Ultra-processed food consumption and risk of colorectal cancer precursors: results from 3 prospective cohorts

Dong Hang et al.

Summary: The consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) is found to have adverse effects on the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) precursors, such as conventional adenomas and serrated lesions. Participants with higher UPF consumption have an increased risk of these precursors, even after adjusting for other factors.

Consumption of ultra-processed foods and the eating location: can they be associated?

Thays Nascimento Souza et al.

Summary: This study assessed the association between eating locations and ultra-processed foods consumption in the UK, finding that consuming at home was inversely associated with ultra-processed foods consumption for children and adolescents, while eating in leisure and sports places was positively associated. Additionally, fast food consumption was directly associated with ultra-processed foods consumption for adolescents.

Exposure assessment of Spanish lactating mothers to acrylamide via human biomonitoring

Sandra F. Fernandez et al.

Summary: AA metabolites were found in urine samples of lactating mothers in Spain, likely originating from coffee, bread, and precooked food products; Estimated daily intake of AA based on urinary metabolites ranged from 1.2 to 1.9 μg/kg bw/day in the target population; Risk assessment indicated that AA exposure should be considered a medium priority for follow-up in the Spanish population.

Soluble and Insoluble Dietary Fiber Consumption and Colorectal Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Mehmet Emin Arayici et al.

Summary: The meta-analysis results suggest that there is a similar association between soluble and insoluble dietary fiber intake and the risk of colorectal cancer. The study indicates that dietary fiber plays an important role in reducing CRC risk, especially through the consumption of both soluble and insoluble fiber.

Summary: High consumption of ultra-processed foods, sugar-sweetened beverages, artificially sweetened beverages, processed meat, and processed red meat may increase the risk of all-cause mortality, while breakfast cereals may decrease it. Further research is needed to standardize methods for categorizing ultra-processed foods.

Ultra-processed food consumption and adult obesity risk: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

Sajjad Moradi et al.

Summary: This study indicates that consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) is associated with an increased risk of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity, with every 10% increase in UPF consumption leading to a 7%, 6%, and 5% higher risk of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity, respectively. The findings suggest a positive linear association between UPF consumption and abdominal obesity, as well as a positive linear association with the risk of overweight/obesity in cross-sectional studies and a positive monotonic association in cohort studies.

Khaoula El Kinany et al.

Summary: The study investigated the association between food processing categories and CRC risk in Moroccan adults. The results showed that high consumption of unprocessed or minimally processed foods was inversely associated with CRC risk, while high consumption of ultra-processed foods and drinks was positively associated with CRC risk.

Assessment of the genotoxicity of acrylamide

Diane Benford et al.

Summary: EFSA was requested to deliver a statement on the genotoxicity of acrylamide (AA). The statement considered both the genotoxic and non-genotoxic effects of AA, with several new studies reporting positive results on AA and its metabolite GA. The studies also found evidence for secondary DNA oxidation and non-genotoxic effects contributing to carcinogenesis. Based on the new data, the EFSA concluded that the margin of exposure approach is still appropriate.

Association of ultra-processed food consumption with colorectal cancer risk among men and women: results from three prospective US cohort studies

Lu Wang et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between consumption of ultra-processed foods and risk of colorectal cancer among men and women. The study found that men with the highest consumption of ultra-processed foods had a 29% higher risk of developing colorectal cancer, while no association was observed among women. Further analysis showed that certain subgroups of ultra-processed foods were associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer in both men and women.

Fernanda Rauber et al.

Summary: The study found that higher consumption of ultra-processed food among UK adults is strongly associated with an increased risk of various indicators of obesity, including overall obesity and abdominal obesity. Policy makers should consider implementing measures to promote the consumption of fresh or minimally processed foods and reduce the intake of ultra-processed foods.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Colorectal cancer burden and trends: Comparison between China and major burden countries in the world

Jiachen Zhou et al.

Summary: This study summarized the burden and trends of colorectal cancer globally, comparing the differences between countries and China. It was found that China had lower CRC incidence and mortality rates compared to other countries, but showed a gradual increase in incidence with age. The variations in CRC burden reflect differences in risk factors, HDI levels, and screening efforts. Efforts to expand screening, particularly among young people in China, are crucial to control the rising burden of CRC in the future.
