BACKGROUND Red meat and processed meat consumption have been associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer in some, but not all, relevant cohort studies. Evidence on the relationship between risk of colorectal cancer and poultry and fish consumption is inconsistent. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study of 37,112 residents of Melbourne, Australia recruited from 1990 to 1994. D...

probiotics have shown beneficial effects on growth parameters of various food animals. in this research, the growth promoting effects of a multi-strain probiotic was investigated on common carp (cyprinus carpio). accordingly, 200 fish (6-7g) were randomly allocated to 4 experimental groups. the first group received placebo and was served as the negative control. the second group received the pr...

Red meat has been suggested to be adversely associated with risk of myocardial infarction (MI), but previous studies have rarely taken replacement foods into consideration. We aimed to investigate optimal substitutions between and within the food groups of red meat, poultry and fish for MI prevention. We followed up 55 171 women and men aged 50-64 years with no known history of MI at recruitmen...

Supplementing broiler diets with conventional vegetable oils has little effect on the long-chain n-3 PUFA (LC n-3 PUFA) content of the meat. The present study investigated the effect on fatty acid composition and sensory characteristics of chicken meat when broilers were fed oil extracted from soyabeans (SDASOY) that had been genetically engineered to produce C18 : 4n-3 (stearidonic acid (SDA),...

INTRODUCTION Circulating concentrations of uric acid may be affected by dietary components such as meat, fish and dairy products, but only a few studies have compared uric acid concentrations among individuals who exclude some or all of these foods from their diet. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in serum uric acid concentrations between meat eaters, fish eaters, vegetarian...

Allergy to poultry meat is rare and affects both children and adults. The prevalence of poultry meat allergy is unknown, but presumably is similar to that of red meat allergy. There is no close relationship between allergy to poultry meat and allergy to red meat. Poultry meat allergy may present as primary (genuine) food allergy or as secondary food allergy resulting from cross-reactivity. Seco...

Cancer prevention guidelines recommend limiting intake of red meat and avoiding processed meat; however, few studies have been conducted on the effects of specific red meat subtypes on colon cancer or rectal cancer risk. The study aim was to evaluate associations between intake of red meat and its subtypes, processed meat, fish, and poultry and risk for colon cancer or rectal cancer in the Dani...

BACKGROUND Fish and meat intake may affect gestational weight gain, body composition and serum fatty acids. We aimed to determine whether a longitudinal dietary intervention during pregnancy could increase fish intake, affect serum phospholipid fatty acids, gestational weight gain and body composition changes during pregnancy in women of normal weight participating in the Pregnancy Obesity Nutr...

The use of a’ meat and bone meal as the main protein source for pigs of 20 kg was investigated. It was compared in two feeding periods with soybean and fish meals alone or with mixtures of the two. The pigs, fed either the soybean or the fish meal or the meat and bone meal with either soybean or fish meal, had significantly heavier weight gains than the pigs fed a ration with meat and bone meal...

BACKGROUND Vegetarian diets might affect the risk of cancer. OBJECTIVE The objective was to describe cancer incidence in vegetarians and nonvegetarians in a large sample in the United Kingdom. DESIGN This was a pooled analysis of 2 prospective studies including 61,647 British men and women comprising 32,491 meat eaters, 8612 fish eaters, and 20,544 vegetarians (including 2246 vegans). Cance...
