The Claim
Intake of specific nitrosamines (NDMA, NPIP, NPYR) is positively correlated with fecal total and heme NOC concentrations in adults with colorectal conditions, though this correlation is not consistently observed across all histopathology subgroups due to sample size limitations.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating certain chemicals found in some foods might increase harmful compounds in the gut of people with colon issues, but we're not sure if this happens for all types of colon problems because there weren't enough people studied.
See the scientific wording
Intake of specific nitrosamines (NDMA, NPIP, NPYR) is positively correlated with fecal total and heme NOC concentrations in adults with colorectal conditions (Spearman ρ values ranging from significant positive correlations), though not consistently across all histopathology subgroups due to sample size limitations.
What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at the same chemicals in processed meat and found they are linked to higher levels of certain compounds in poop in people with colon issues, just like the claim said, but it couldn't check every group well because there weren't enough people.
