Dietary Inflammatory Index and Colorectal Cancer Risk

Another study regarding the Dietary Inflammatory Index

A 2017 study entitled “Dietary Inflammatory Index and Colorectal Cancer Risk—A Meta-Analysis” concluded

“This meta-analysis suggests that a more pro-inflammatory diet, as estimated by the higher DII score, was independently associated with an increased risk of CRC. Hence, promoting diets low in pro-inflammatory items and rich in anti-inflammatory food components should help in reducing the incidence of CRC. Future research should concentrate on how DII fares in a population with CRC and what effect it would have on CRC-specific mortality.”
