Does Eating Chicken Really Increase the Risk of Cancer?

A recent observational study by Italian researchers suggests that consuming over 300 grams of chicken or turkey per week is linked to a 27% increased risk of death from any cause. The study also found that higher consumption of chicken is associated with a 2.3% increased risk of developing gastrointestinal cancers. This risk was even higher among men, reaching up to 2.6%. These findings were published in the journal Nutrients.
