Vegetarian diets may be associated with an overall lower incidence of colorectal cancers. Researchers from Loma Linda University analyzed data from the “The Adventist Health Study 2″ of 96,354 Seventh-Day Adventist men and women between 2002-2007. The incidence of colorectal cancer in order of least to greatest was as follows: pescovegetarians (diet that includes fish or other seafood, but not meat or poultry), lacto-ovo vegetarians (no meat, fish, or poultry), vegans (no animal products), semivegetarians (those who ate meat, poultry, or fish less than once per week), and nonvegetarians.
