Fruits, veggies drop pancreatic cancer risk 50%

[Guest guest]

I notice everyone on these lists is fond of epidemiologic work. Although I am not, whenever they say something that makes sense mechanistically, I will emphasize it.

Maybe they are actually starting to use their data for good, not evil.

"Onions, garlic, beans, yellow vegetables (carrots, yams, sweet potatoes, corn and yellow squash), dark leafy vegetables and cruciferous vegetables were most strongly associated with protection against pancreatic cancer, the researchers found. Fruit was also found to offer a protective effect, but much less so than vegetables. Citrus fruits and juices were the most protective fruits.

This 50 percent reduced risk of pancreatic cancer was associated with eating at least five servings per day of the protective vegetables and fruit, compared with eating two servings or less a day, the study said. Eating nine servings a day of vegetables and fruit was associated with about a 50 percent reduced risk of pancreatic cancer, compared with eating less than five servings a day."
