People who eat more than 160 grams of red or processed meat a day are 35 percent

more likely to develop bowel cancer than those who eat less_________(1)20 grams a

day,according to one of the biggest nutrition investigations ever carried out.

The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition followed 478,040

men and women________(2)35 to 70 from 10 European countries.

All subjects were free of cancer at enrollment between 1992 and 1998,but______

(3)an average follow-up of almost 5 years 1,329 bowel cancers had been reported.

The subsequent analysis,published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute,

confirms the long-held suspicion________(4) high intakes（纳入量）of red meat are

associated with increased bowel_________(5)risk.

After taking into consideration factors like age,sex,height,weight,energy intake,

physical activity,smoking,and alcohol consumption,the investigators found that bowel

cancer was________(6)with intake of red and processed meat but not chicken.

Risk of bowel cancer dropped with increasing intake of fish.Eating more than 80 grams

a day of fish was associated________(7)a 31 percent reduction in risk compared with

eating less than 10 grams a________(8）.

Subjects with high red meat and low fish intake were at 63 percent higher risk of bowel

cancer compared with subjects with low red meat and high fish_________(9).In

addition,the risk of developing the disease was increased for_________(10)people

who ate a low fibre diet.

Sheila Bingham,study investigator at the UK's Medical Research Council nutrition unit,

said:"People have suspected for some time that high levels of red and processed meat

________(11)risk of bowel cancer,but this is one of the largest studies worldwide and

the first from Europe of this type to show a________(12)relationship."

She added in a statement:"The overall picture is very consistent for red and processed

meat and fibre across all the________(13)populations studied."

Study coordinator,Elio Riboli,of the World Health Organisation International Agency for

Research into Cancer,said:"Other risk factors for_________(14)cancer include

obesity（肥胖）and lack of physical activity. Smoking and excess alcohol may also play a
