In order to reach at the above given result, the study researchers asked questions from 24,000 men and women and the median age was between 40 and 74. The participants, who took part in the study, were from the European Prospective Investigation of Cancer (EPIC) study being taken out the Norfolk branch.

In order to compare the data, another 4000 volunteers were also enrolled and using a special computer test, the comparison was being done. The study, which continued for 10 years, was able to prove its hypothesis.

"If a causal association is confirmed by reporting consistent findings from other epidemiological studies, then population based dietary recommendations may help to prevent pancreatic cancer", said the study authors.
