"what the researchers considered a healthy diet", I think that pretty much says it all right there. I have to wonder if this attitude had biased their opinions on the research they did.

Pray tell were all these people in the same region? Or did they just interview people all over the place looking for "groups" they wanted and then came back with their results? Sounds very one sided if you ask me. Exactly 124 people with stomach cancer, and exactly 124 people with esophageal cancer...and 449 without either? Why not stop at 124 without either?
*shrugs* Sounds like the grain people were behind this research
