The specialists of the University of Nagoya and Fukuoka Institute of Medicine (Japan ). During his studies, they assessed the nutrition of 37 thousand women and 25,000 men.
Studied were divided into groups: group 1 prefers vegetarian food (salads, soybean, vegetables), the second group liked to eat meat products, but the subjects of the third group followed the diet of dairy and most fats and proteins obtained from cow's milk and its derivatives .
Assessment of health status of each group allowed the doctors to conclude that vegetarianism does not affect susceptibility to cancer of the digestive system. Passion for meat dishes showed a negative result: such diet leads to increased risk of cancer of the stomach. By the way, least of all from the "meat" diet affected men. The percentage of cases of stomach cancer among male meat-eaters was higher in both men and women, but cases among women it was still much more.
Well, most good health was among those study participants whose diets were many dairy products. In this group the percentage of cases of stomach cancer was lower than the average for both men and women. However, scientists note that whole cow's milk - very mixed food. Some researchers believe that adults do not drink it. In this case, experts recommend paying attention to its derivatives - yogurt, sour cream, yogurt, cottage cheese and other products.
