Lee et al. (1) recently reported a positive association of heme iron intake and an inverse association of zinc intake with the risk of colon cancer among women who consumed alcohol. To examine these associations further, we analyzed data from the population-based Swedish Mammography Cohort of 61 433 women who were aged 4075 years and without cancer at baseline in 19871990 (2).
