In the early 1990s, the Cancer Foundation initiated a large cohort study with the primary goal of investigating the relationship between diet and subsequent cancer risk. The MDC study was led by the professor of internal medicine, Göran Berglund, and the professor of epidemiology, Lars Janzon. Between 1991 and 1996, 17,000 women were recruited (born 1923-1950) and 11,000 men (born 1923-1945), whic
