There was an increasing risk of gastric cancer with increasing consumption of refined grains, with an OR for the highest versus the lowest tertile of 1.39 (95% CI: 1.28\u20131.50) when considering staple grain foods only and 1.52 (95% CI: 1.39\u20131.65) when also considering grain-based sweets and desserts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings indicate that whole grain consumption is inversely associated, and refined grain consumption directly associated with gastric cancer risk.
