Hi RB,

In Europe the EPIC study is looking into the correlates of cancer by studying the diet of people across Europe and their rates of cancer. The idea is that the diet across Europe is very varied, much more so that the diet in the United States or Canada, so the study might yield some information on what foods increase/reduce the risk of cancer. So far they have had some interesting findings, such as a relation between eating white bread and kidney cancer.
