Nieuwenhuis L, et al. – Using data from the Netherlands Cohort Study, which included 120,852 study participants aged 55-69 years, researchers examined the link between total nut, tree nut, peanut, and peanut butter intake and the risk of lung cancer and its subtypes. They evaluated responses to questionnaire items assessing dietary and lifestyle habits that were completed by study participants in 1986. After 20.3-year follow-up period, 3,720 subcohort members and 2,861 individuals with lung cancer were included in the multivariable case-cohort analyses. Overall, the investigators found no significant association of total nut intake with total lung cancer risk among men or women. However, they did note a possible contribution of increased nut intake for preventing small cell carcinoma in men. They did not observe any significant links in men for the other subtypes or total lung cancer, in women, or for peanut butter intake.
