Whole grains, dietary fiber be associated with lower risk of liver cancer

Findings  In this cohort study of 125 455 participants in the United States, including 141 patients with HCC, with an average follow-up of 24.2 years, increased intake of whole grains was associated with a reduced risk of HCC. A nonsignificant inverse HCC association was observed for total bran but not for germ; increased intake of cereal fiber but not fruit or vegetable fiber was associated with a nonsignificant lower risk of HCC.
Meaning  Increased intake of whole grains and possibly cereal fiber and bran could be associated with reduced risk of HCC among US adults.
