Carcinogens in the diet vs. overnutrition. Individual dietary habits, malnutrition, and genetic susceptibility modify carcinogenic potency and cancer risk.

Abstract excerpt

Chemical carcinogens in the diet cannot explain the cancer incidence attributed by epidemiologists to dietary factors when the calculation is based on average exposure levels and conservative estimates of carcinogenic potencies. In a previous review, the discrepancy was explained primarily by overnutrition to which a carcinogenic potency was assigned from dietary restriction experiments and the associated...
