2 WCRF/AICR report 2007 Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer Recommendations Animal foods Limited intake of red meat and avoid processed meat Personal recommendation People who eat red meat to consume less than 500g a week, very little if any to be processed Public health goal Population average consumption of red meat to be no more than 300g a week, very little if any of which to be processed World Cancer Research Fund May,

3 Convincing increased risk Limited suggestive Increased risk Red meat and cancer scientific evidence Red meat Colorectum Esophagus Lung Pancreas Endometrium Processed meat Colorectum Esophagus Lung Stomach Prostate World Cancer Research Fund 8 May

4 Criteria for grading evidence 1 Convincing Evidence strong enough to support a judgement of a convincing causal relationship, which justifies goals and recommendations designed to reduce the incidence of cancer 2 Probable Slightly weaker from above, but can generally justify recommendations 3 Limited- Evidence too limited to permit a probable or suggestive convincing causal judgement 4 Limited no conclusion 5 Substantialeffect unlikely 8 May

27 Red meat intake and mortality cancer, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality American population Cancer mortality Cardiovascular mortality All-cause mortality 8 May

28 Summary There is convincing evidence, that red meat (unprocessed and processed) is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. There is an accumulating evidence regarding increased risk for other cancer sites. Red meat consumption has been shown to be associated with increased risk for cardiovscular diseases and diabetes as well as increased mortality. 8 May
