Numerous studies have tried to identify which foods, if any, contribute to developing pancreatic cancer. The results don't allow any firm conclusions: A typical American diet, high in fat and smoked or other processed meats, has been associated with pancreatic cancer in some but not all studies.
A healthy diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables seemed to protect against pancreatic cancer in some but not all studies.
In experiments, lab rats fed a high-protein, high-fat diet were consistently found to develop pancreatic cancer. However, laboratory data doesn't necessarily apply to people.
