Increases in risk were not, however, seen in Asian populations with low consumption of red meat, or in populations in which consumption of red meat has recently increased.141516 These inconsistencies could be due to the variable amounts and duration of red meat consumed in different populations,1516 inadequate differentiation between processed and unprocessed red meat,15171819 differences in the levels of controlling for confounding,1518 and, importantly, differences in the comparison sources of energy.15202122 In particular, in most populations, most energy intake come from refined starches, sugar, potatoes, and fats that are highly saturated or partially hydrogenated.
