C, and linoleic acid. The highest risk was found for saturated fat consumption, and there was evidence of a dose-response relationship.
The only cohort studies that have yet provided data on dietary variables are the ongoing parallel studies in Norway and Minnesota (Bjelke, 1978). These studies indicate that there is a reduced risk of colorectal cancer in the Minnesota subjects who have a high index of vegetable consumption. No such effect has been observed in Norway, but the number of cases in that country is small. |

C. However, this study has been criticized for lack of randomization, lack of placebo controls, and other design flaws (Comroe, 1978). Other investigators have reported positive effects. In a trial of 99 cancer patients in Japan, the average time of survival after a terminal diagnosis was 43 days for 44 patients given low levels of ascorbic acid, and 246 days for 55 patients given high levels of ascorbic acid (Murata et al., 1982). |

Between 1940 and 1977, per capita intake of food color additives increased tenfold. Soft drink consumption increased 1.5 times in just 16 years—between 1960 and 1976 (Brewster and Jacobson, 1978).

Changes in the per capita intake of certain individual commodities are especially striking. |

C or citrus fruits, carotene or grams of dark green and deep yellow vegetables. In principle, the important analytic variables should be identified at the outset of the study, since that decision will determine the nature and format of the data that are collected. For example, if the variable of interest is total calories from fat rather than the characteristics of specific fats, which may differ according to their sources and processing, then the interviewer need not help the respondent differentiate between animal fats and vegetable oils or between liquid and hydrogenated shortenings. |
