Pesticide Residues May Explain Diet-Cancer Link
Dr. Jorge Nieva suggests pesticide residues on produce may explain increased cancer risk.
Study surveyed 187 patients under 50, with 78% women.
Participants had higher diet quality scores (65) than national average (57).
Non-organic produce may carry higher pesticide residues linked to cancer.
77% of women in EGFR groups used oral contraceptives prior to diagnosis.
Experts stress healthy eating remains vital, not to avoid fruits/vegetables.
Pesticide exposure, not produce, is likely the culprit.
