Summary: Our study showed similar associations between the consumption of red meat and CRC risk in Morocco as in developed countries, while inverse associations were found for traditional processed meat products. This is the first study to investigate the differential effects of traditional versus westernized processed meat products in a developing country.
Key Takeaways
In countries such as Morocco the consumption of western processed meats led to similar rates of colorectal cancer, but meats that were processed in ways traditional to Morocco had an inverse relationship with colorectal cancer.
