Bellvitge Hospital and IDIBELL successfully test a new method to compare two multiple sclerosis treatments

The study compares the use of two drugs through what they have called a natural experiment, which opens the doors to a new research methodology to compare highly effective treatments, minimizing possible biases in the analysis of the different groups.

Consumption of processed foods increases the risk of cancer

This is the largest and most complete study carried out on the subject, it has included more than 450,000 people from 9 European countries and has analyzed the relationship of diet with 25 different types of cancer. The work concludes that replacing 10% of the intake of processed products with others that are not reduces the risk of suffering any type of cancer.
