Higher dietary intakes of choline and betaine are associated with a lower risk of primary liver cancer: a case-control study

Abstract The dietary intake of methyl donors is favorably associated with many diseases, but the findings regarding primary liver cancer (PLC) risk are limited. This study investigated the association between the intake of choline, betaine and methionine and PLC risk in adults. This 1:1 matched case...
