TL;DR
This investigation provides little evidence of an association between fruit and vegetable intakes and colorectal cancer.
Abstract
Although the limitations of our study design and data merit consideration, this investigation provides little evidence of an association between fruit and vegetable intakes and colorectal cancer.

Evidence that the various common types of cancer are largely avoidable diseases is reviewed and suggests that, apart from cancer of the respiratory tract, the types ofcancer that are currently common are not peculiarly modern diseases and are likely to depend chiefly on some long-established factor(s).

American Journal of EpidemiologyCan Energy Adjustment Separate the Effects of Energy from Those of Specific Macronutrients?
68 Citations1994Sholom Wacholder, Arthur Schatzkin +4 more
Energy adjustment is used in nutritional epidemiology in an attempt to separate specific effects of macronutrients from one another and from the generic effect of the total quantity of energy consumed, but models in which the risk of disease is allowed to depend simultaneously on daily total energy consumption and separate components of energy that sum to the total are not identifiable.

26 Citations1997Laurence S. Freedman, Victor Kipnis +4 more
Assessing and reporting associations representing not only the substitution but also the addition of energy from a specific nutrient for energy from other nutrient sources, while keeping total energy intake constant is recommended.
