Health benefits and risk analysis with reference to cancer studies

Article Abstract:

Research on the link between diet and cancer is usually accomplished by one of two approaches: a case-control study or a cohort study. In a case-control study, researchers identify people with a specific disease, match them to a control group that does not have the disease and look for differences in diet. In a cohort study, researchers enroll disease-free people who have known risk factors and follow them over time to see how many develop disease.

Trans fatty acids and cancer

Article Abstract:

No conclusive evidence exists to tie trans fatty acids in the diet to cancer. These acids come from such sources as partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. While research has tied fats to increased risks of breast, colon, rectum and prostate cancer, trans fatty acids are not indicated. A review of seven animal model studies and research in human epidemiology shows no connection with increased cancer risks.

Dietary fat, trans fatty acids, and risk of coronary heart disease

Article Abstract:

Epidemiologic surveys and feeding research indicate that the risk of coronary heart disease increases in correlation to an individual's dietary trans fatty acids intake. Although data on trans fatty acids intake is imperfect, evidence supports the theory that decreasing intake may in turn decrease an individual's risk of developing coronary heart disease.
