Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary polyphenol intake in Europe: the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study

TL;DR: The large number of dietary individual polyphenols consumed and the high variability of their intakes between European populations, particularly between MED and non-MED countries are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Body size and risk of differentiated thyroid carcinomas: Findings from the EPIC study

TL;DR: This study lends further support to the presence of a moderate positive association between differentiated TC risk and overweight and obesity in women and the risk increase among taller individuals of both sexes suggests that some genetic characteristics or early environmental exposures may also be implicated in the etiology of differentiated TC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycemic index, glycemic load, dietary carbohydrate, and dietary fiber intake and risk of liver and biliary tract cancers in Western Europeans

TL;DR: Findings suggest that higher consumption of dietary fiber and lower consumption of total sugars are associated with lower HCC risk, and in addition, high dietary fiber intake could be associated with higher IBD cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary intake of total polyphenol and polyphenol classes and the risk of colorectal cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort

TL;DR: This study suggests a possible inverse association between phenolic acid intake and colon cancer risk in men and positive with rectal cancerrisk in women, and intake of other polyphenol classes was not related to colorectal, colon or Rectal cancer risks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary fat, fat subtypes and hepatocellular carcinoma in a large European cohort

TL;DR: In this large prospective European cohort, higher consumption of monounsaturated fats is associated with lower HCC risk, and restriction of analyses to HBV/HCV free participants or adjustment for liver function did not substantially alter the findings.
