Different types of fruit intake and colorectal cancer risk: A meta-analysis of observational studies

CONCLUSION: We found that a higher intake of citrus, apples, watermelon, and kiwi was negatively associated with the risk of CRC, while the intake of other types of fruits were not significantly associated with CRC. Citrus intake showed a non-linear dose-response relationship with the risk of CRC. This meta-analysis provides further evidence that a higher intake of specific types of fruit is effective in preventing the occurrence of CRC.PMID:37213399 | PMC:PMC10198059 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v29.i17.2679
