Antioxidant and inflammatory potential of diet among women at risk of cervical cancer: findings from a cross-sectional study in Italy
Increased dietary exposure to antioxidants may help thwart the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)—the precursor to cervical cancer—in women.
This study evaluated how a woman's dietary choices can affect her risk of developing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)-the precursor of cervical cancer. Researchers surveyed 539 women with regards to the inflammatory potential of their diets and the occurrence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
Researchers noticed a heightened risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia among women at the top of the pro-inflammatory food consumption ladder. On the other hand, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia was found to be less likely to be present among participants who followed a high antioxidant diet. This study revealed that sticking to a pro-inflammatory diet may propel a woman on the path to developing cervical cancer.
