Study: Meat, Fat, Protein Don’t Increase Risk of Renal Cancer

12/02/2008
Results of a recent study published online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute indicate that meat, fat and protein consumption do not increase the risk of developing renal cell cancer.

The study analyzed data from 13 prospective studies that included 530,469 women and 244,483 men, and had follow-up times of up to 7 to 20 years.

Researchers compared the fat, protein and meat intakes of the participants who developed kidney cancer with those who did not develop the disease. A total of 1478 incident cases of renal cell cancer were identified (709 in women; 769 in men).

Researchers noted: “We observed statistically significant positive associations or trends in pooled age-adjusted models for intakes of total fat, saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, cholesterol, total protein, and animal protein. However, these associations were attenuated and no longer statistically significant after adjusting for body mass index, fruit and vegetable intake, and alcohol intake.”

No Association Found Between Fat, Protein, And Meat Consumption And Kidney Cancer

No Association Found Between Fat, Protein, And Meat Consumption And Kidney Cancer

'When the researchers compared the fat, protein and meat intakes of the participants who developed kidney cancer with those who did not develop the disease, they found no association with fat, protein, or meat intake after considering the influence of other known kidney cancer risk factors.

"Our data do not support the hypotheses that intakes of fat, protein, or meat from animal sources are associated with an increased risk of renal cell cancer," the authors conclude.'

Does solar exposure, as indicated by the non-melanoma skin cancers, protect from solid cancers: vitamin D as a possible explanation. this paper concludes Vitamin D production in the skin seems to decrease the risk of several solid cancers (especially stomach, colorectal, liver and gallbladder, pancreas, lung, female breast, prostate, bladder and kidney cancers). The apparently protective effect of sun exposure against second primary cancer is more pronounced after non-melanoma skin cancers than melanoma, which is consistent with earlier reports that non-melanoma skin cancers reflect cumulative sun exposure, whereas melanoma is more related to sunburn.
