Ah - I see.
The last comment you mentioned appears to arise from a study talked about on the American Cancer Society (ACS) web site.
Although the sensational headlines was ""Western" Diet Linked to Colon Cancer in Women" the study says Quote:
The researchers assessed how closely each woman followed one of two dietary patterns. The "Western" pattern included large amounts of refined grains, processed and red meats, desserts, high-fat dairy products, and French fries. The other pattern, which the researchers termed "prudent," consisted of more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, poultry, and fish.
The prudent diet is very much in line with the EFI diet guidelines.
It is important to note the final comments by the ACS Quote:
Diet may be only one part of the overall picture in reducing colorectal cancer risk.
Until researchers are better able to pinpoint exactly how certain factors affect the way colon cancer develops, the American Cancer Society recommends making the best use of current knowledge to lower your risk. This includes increasing the intensity and duration of physical activity, eating more fruits and vegetables, limiting intake of red meats, avoiding obesity, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption
