Relationships between dietary components and cancer risk are often unclear, and the results from epidemiologic studies are inconsistent. While some inconsistencies could be due to study design issues, we propose that genetic heterogeneity of study populations could mask associations. In this report, we review the literature regarding meat consumption and risk of colon, breast, and prostate cancers, particularly...
