Hi Margaret,

I included the findings by way of the relative risk (RR) or hazard ratio (HR). The Dunneram meta-analysis found that vegans had a 40% increased risk of colorectal cancer and a 78% increased risk of rectal cancer compared to meat-eaters. The Aune meta-analysis found that vegans had the same rate of colorectal cancer as regular meat-eaters. There’s no conclusion other than that we should pay attention to colorectal cancer in vegans in future studies to see if this trend continues (hopefully it won’t).

Here is what I meant to say: You did not actually say explicitly what the conclusions of each of the studies were. You just said they reached different conclusions. Please explain. Thanks.
