High-Produce Diet Linked to Early-Onset Lung Cancer in Young Non-Smokers

A USC study of 187 lung cancer patients under 50, most non-smokers, found those with higher intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grains had higher HEI scores and a surprising association with early-onset lung cancer. Researchers suspect long-term pesticide exposure from produce may contribute, but more research is needed. Produce remains healthful, and steps to reduce pesticide residues include washing, peeling or trimming produce, though the study did not measure pesticide levels directly.

Healthy Diet Tied to Lung Cancer Risk in Young Non-Smokers, Study Finds

A USC-led study found that Americans under 50 who have never smoked and eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may have a higher lung cancer risk, possibly due to environmental pesticide exposure. The study used diet quality scores and did not measure pesticides directly; researchers urge further testing of biological samples to confirm exposure and assess the role of specific pesticides.

Healthy Eating Linked to Higher Lung Cancer Risk in Young Non-Smokers, Study Says

A USC-led study presented at AACR found that non-smoking Americans under 50 who follow healthier diets may have a higher risk of lung cancer, possibly due to environmental pesticide exposure from non-organic produce. The research notes a higher incidence among young women in this group and calls for direct pesticide measurements in patients and further study to confirm the link and identify specific factors.
