The diets of 210 low-income African-American and white women were assessed for cancer-related components, and comparisons were made between the two groups on various food components. Energy intakes were inadequate for both groups, with African Americans having a significantly higher intake. Fat intakes for both groups were above the recommended 30% of kilocalories, but fiber intakes were less than half of the recommended amount. Meats and possible meat sources of nitrites and mutagens were not excessive. A majority of both groups consumed inadequate amounts of vitamins A, C, and E; folate; calcium; milk; vegetables; and fruits. Dietary imbalances appeared to pose a significant cancer risk for these women
