The American Association for Cancer Research has published a list of three types of vegetables that, theoretically, may help prevent cancer.
A study from Johns Hopkins University indicates that regularly consuming broccoli may protect individuals from gastritis and certain forms of stomach cancer.
Researchers from Michigan State University have discovered an interesting phenomenon: Polish women have breast cancer rates that are one-third lower than their counterparts who have migrated to the United States. This discrepancy has been attributed to their diet, as people in Poland consume a significant amount of cabbage, whereas it is not a commonly favored vegetable in the U.S.
Additionally, researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee have identified another food item that may aid in cancer prevention: garlic. When meat is cooked at high temperatures, it releases certain enzymes that can lead to breast cancer. However, marinating the meat with garlic can produce a compound that inhibits the release of these harmful enzymes.
