"The study is being presented at the American Association for Cancer Research conference this week and hasn't been peer reviewed. Based on the abstract available online, the study was small, had no appropriate control group, led to a finding not previously hypothesized, used groupings that were 'arbitrary,' is likely picking up on a known correlation, and jumps to speculation based on no data from the study."
""This is only a conference abstract, but the flaws of the study and its conclusions are quite striking," Baptiste Leurent, associate professor in Medical Statistics at University College London, said in a statement."
Recent claims suggest that consuming fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may increase lung cancer risk, contradicting decades of established nutrition guidance. This claim arises from a study presented at a conference, which has not yet been peer-reviewed. Experts criticize the study for its small sample size, lack of a control group, arbitrary groupings, and speculative conclusions. The study analyzed dietary data from 166 non-smokers who developed lung cancer under age 50, but its findings are deemed flawed and unsubstantiated by nutrition experts.
