Voedingsadvies El MondoResearch Question:
Observational studies of the relationship between the consumption of witvlees (including fish and poultry) and the risk of getting colorectal adenoma, the precursor to colon cancer, showed mixed results. It was therefore carried out this review article.
Lowers eating witvlees (including fish and poultry) the chance of getting colorectal adenoma?
Study Design:
This overview article contained 16 case-control studies and cohort studies 5 until april 2012.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that eating a lot of witvlees compared to little, the chance of getting colorectal adenoma non-significant 4% [95% CI = 0.84-1.09] reduced. Non-significant is, there is no link to a 95% reliability.
The researchers found that eating a lot of fish compared to little, the chance of getting colorectal adenoma with insignificant 2% [95% CI = 0.80-1.19] reduced. Non-significant is, there is no link to a 95% reliability.
The researchers found that eating a lot of poultry compared with little, the chance of getting colorectal adenoma with insignificant 2% [95% CI = 0.80-1.18] reduced. Non-significant is, there is no link to a 95% reliability, or in other words, there cannot be said with 95% reliability that eating a lot of poultry reduces the chance of getting colorectal adenoma.
The researchers concluded that eating a lot of witvlees (including fish and poultry) the chance of getting colorectal adenoma not reduced.

While there is no link between witvlees and colorectal adenoma, however red meat increases the chances of getting colorectal adenoma.
