Vegetarians showed significantly lower risks: 28% for kidney cancer, 31% for multiple myeloma, 21% for pancreatic cancer. Benefits likely stem from higher fruit, vegetable, and fiber intake while avoiding processed meat, though some nutrient deficiencies may explain elevated esophageal cancer risk.

Consumers may shift dietary preferences toward vegetarian options due to perceived health benefits, increasing demand for plant-based alternatives while reducing meat consumption. However, concerns about vegan-specific risks (colorectal cancer) may moderate adoption rates and create market segmentation.
Governments may strengthen dietary guidelines recommending plant-based foods for cancer prevention, potentially influencing agricultural subsidies, food labeling requirements, and public health campaigns. Healthcare systems may promote preventive nutrition education. Food industry may face pressure for clearer nutritional labeling and marketing claims.
