Lee DH, et al. - In this prospective cohort analysis, researchers examined if there is a connection between mushroom consumption and the risk of total and 17 site-specific cancers using Cox proportional hazards models with 68,327 women (Nurses' Health Study, 1986–2012) and 44,664 men (Health Professionals Follow-up Study, 1986–2012) who were free of cancer at baseline. Participants were followed-up for 26 years, during which, 22,469 incident cancer cases (15,103 in women and 7,366 in men) were documented. In this study, mushroom consumption was not related to total and site-specific cancers in US women and men. However, findings revealed a marginal positive link between mushroom consumption and the risk of lung cancer.
