Studies have found conflicting results on miso and cancer: frequent miso consumption was linked to a raised risk of stomach cancer in Japanese men, while two separate studies found miso consumption may reduce the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in men.

Notes on verification

Multiple peer-reviewed epidemiological studies (JACC study, Wiley IJC study, PMC review) corroborate conflicting associations between miso consumption and different cancer types in Japanese cohorts, though observational nature limits causal certainty.
