Colorectal cancer is the second most prevalent cancer worldwide. A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies was conducted to examine the association between intake of different types of dairy foods during adulthood and the development of colorectal cancer, specifically comparing nonfermented milk, solid cheese, and fermented milk. Seven databases were systematically searched and 15 cohort studies selected for inclusion, involving over 900,000 subjects and over 5200 colorectal cancer cases.

- The study explored factors affecting food costs in rural Victoria, focusing on the pricing of healthy versus unhealthy foods and identifying groups vulnerable to food insecurity.
- A survey conducted in 2007 measured food costs across 34 supermarkets, revealing that a typical family's healthy food basket cost approximately AU $402.81, with no clear link between food costs and geographic remoteness or socioeconomic status.
- Results showed that independent stores charged more for healthy food baskets than supermarket chains, and variations in the prices of vegetables/legumes were significant compared to other food categories, indicating varying economic impacts on different family types.
