Nine studies of childhood brain tumors and maternal diet during pregnancy have focused on foods related to the N-nitroso-compound(NOC) hypothesis. An association between frequent consumption of cured meat by pregnant women and increased risk is a consistent finding in most of the studies. The data on fruit and vegetable consumption are less consistent, but suggest decreased risk. Studies that assess all aspects of maternal diet during pregnancy are needed to determine whether the observed associations remain after adjustment for other aspects of diet. Such comprehensive studies also may elucidate other dietary factors that affect the risk of brain tumors in children.
