Overall processed meat or its subtypes, poultry, or fish and risk for eother proximal or distal colon cancer (data not shown). For proximal colon cancer, a higher risk was seen with each increment of intake of 5 g/d of veal [adjust IRR per 5 g/d = 1.14 (95% CI: 1.03-1.26)]. Intake of lamb was significantly associated with a higher risk for distal colon cancer, with an adjust IRR of 1.11 (95% CI: 1.04-1.18) for each increment of intake of 5 g/d
