Fruits, Veggies Might Ward Off Cancer
(HealthDayNews, 12/21/04)
According to the Mayo Clinic Health Letter, people whose
diets are rich in plant-based foods tend to have a lower
risk of developing serious disease, including certain
cancers. The newsletter notes that citrus fruits may guard
against pancreatic, prostate and breast cancer; cruciferous
vegetables may protect against colorectal cancer; and
tomatoes may inhibit prostate cancer.
