Researchers conducted a review of studies on the association between food and nutrient consumption and the risk of IBD diagnosis. Their results showed a positive association between high intake of saturated fats, monounsaturated fatty acids, total polyunsaturated fatty acids, total omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, mono- and disaccharides and meat to increased subsequent CD risk.
Their research also suggested a negative association between dietary fiber and fruits and subsequent CD risk. High intakes of total fats, total PUFAs, omega-6 fatty acids and meat were associated with an increased risk of UC, while high vegetable intake was associated with a decreased risk of UC.
