Fruits and vegetables play great role in reducing cancer risk

Tuesday, 29 January 2013

This comes from an analysis of several studies with a total of almost one million participants that has been published in the journal JNCI - The Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and reports Swedish paper, Upsala Nya Tidning.

"Our analysis is an important contribution to the understanding of the relationship between the consumption of fruit and vegetables and the occurrence of breast cancer, particularly estrogen-receptor-negative tumors," the researchers behind the study write according to Upsala Nya Tidning.

The study which is a meta-analysis covers nearly a million women from 20 different studies, including one with more than 60 000 participants in Uppsala and Västmanland and one with close to 50 000 participants from Uppsala health care region in Sweden.

Form it women who eat lots of fruits and vegetables are less likely than others to suffer from a severe form of breast cancer, called estrogens receptor-negative breast cancer.
