Linoleic acid intake and cancer risk: a review and meta-analysis

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
P L Zock, M B Katan

Abstract

Replacement of saturated fat by the major dietary polyunsaturated fat linoleic acid reduces blood cholesterol concentrations and the risk of coronary artery disease. However, there is concern that long-term consumption of large amounts of linoleic acid might increase cancer risk. We reviewed the epidemiologic and experimental literature on linoleic acid intake and cancer risk and performed additional meta-analyses of risk estimates from case-control and prospective cohort studies. None of the combined estimates from within-population studies indicated a significantly increased risk of cancer with high compared with low intakes of linoleic acid or polyunsaturated fat. For case-control studies, the combined relative risks were 0.84 (95% CI: 0.71, 1.00) for breast, 0.92 (95% CI: 0.85, 1.08) for colorectal, and 1.27 (95% CI: 0.97, 1.66) for prostate cancer. For prospective cohort studies, combined relative risks were 1.05 (95% CI: 0.83, 1.34) for breast, 0.92 (95% CI: 0.70, 1.22) for colon, and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.56, 1.24) for prostate cancer. Ecologic comparisons of populations showed positive associations between cancer rates and per capita use of animal or saturated fat, but less so with per capita use of vegetable oil or polyunsat...Continue Reading

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
