Differences in food intake patterns are positively correlated with differences in the incidence of various cancers in world populations. It is postulated here that dietary factors play a vital role in the genesis of several major neoplasms, specifically gastric and colon carcinomas. In addition to the food consumed, such variables as total caloric intake, nutrtional excess or deficit, exposure to carcinogens and consumption of alcohol also increase the risk of cancer. Through recognition of these factors and subsequent long-term manipulation of diet, it should be possible to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality.
食物摄入模式的差异与世界人口中各种癌症发病率的差异呈正相关。本文推测饮食因素在几种主要肿瘤，特别是胃癌和结肠癌的发生中起着至关重要的作用。除了所摄入的食物外，诸如总热量摄入、营养过剩或不足、接触致癌物以及饮酒等变量也会增加患癌风险。通过认识这些因素并随后长期调整饮食，应该有可能降低癌症的发病率和死亡率。
