Article Synopsis
  • - This study analyzed dietary patterns from over 450,000 adults in the EPIC cohort to see how specific diets affect the risk of differentiated thyroid cancer (TC) in Europe.
  • - Researchers found that a diet high in alcohol (beer and wine) was linked to a reduced risk of TC, while a diet rich in sweetened beverages was associated with an increased risk.
  • - The results support dietary guidelines that recommend limiting sweetened beverage intake to reduce cancer risk, particularly highlighting the strong association with papillary TC.
