“…Especially, after removing the studies published before 2003, the combined RR was 1.44 (95% CI: 1.15–1.80), and a significant association (RR: 1.43; 95% CI: 1.08–1.90) was also yielded when analysed the only cohort studies. Since such phenomenon that the RRs changed over time was not observed in other studies of red meat and cancer, there was still not enough evidence to rule out all the studies before 2003 in our meta‐analysis. Nonetheless, this phenomenon might be partially explained by socioeconomic status (SES), which is closely related with meat consumption, and also serves as an independent and synergistic predictor of HCC .…”

“…Previous studies have suggested that high intake of red meat and processed meat were associated with an increased risk of several types of cancer, including colon cancer, gastric cancer, oesophagus cancer, pancreatic cancer and even lung cancer . The link is biologically plausible, since red meat and processed meat contain high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat, and are associated with increased risk of obesity and diabetes, which are known as cancer risk factors .…”

“…The women who did not eat red meat were—perhaps unsurprisingly—found among the never‐smokers, as health‐conscious individuals may tend to avoid both tobacco and red meat. While a high intake of red meat has been linked to increased lung cancer risk in several studies, two of the women who excluded red meat from their diets had strong family histories of aggressive cancers (including lung cancer in one case), and the third woman had lung sarcoidosis in the family, which suggests that there may have been hereditary predispositions for lung cancer for two of them and a possible autoimmune inflammatory predisposition for lung disease for the third (as there is an increased risk of sarcoidosis for those who have family members with the disease, and for those with sarcoidosis, there is an increased risk of lung cancer), likely having counteracted any potential dietary benefits.…”

“…Dietary patterns have also been shown to influence lung cancer risk. Again, diets high in meat were found to increase lung cancer risk by 35% [158] and two recent meta-analyses concluded that risk for lung cancer was greatly reduced in those consuming the most fruits and vegetables compared to those consuming the least [159,160] . The harmful effects of Western diets high in meat are likely influenced both by inclusion of damaging compounds in meat as well as exclusion of protective components in plant foods.…”
