London: A diet full of
fruits and vegetables could help women reduce risk of developing
breast cancer, a study published in the Journal of the National
Cancer Institute said.
Long hailed for their anti-oxidant properties, researchers now
believe carotenoids can also help prevent cancerous tissue in the
breast due to their effect on mechanisms such as the immune
system, Daily Express reported.
Melons, oranges, peppers, carrots, broccoli, spinach and sweet
potatoes are among foods rich in nutrients known as carotenoids.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School in the US, who pooled studies
from across the world, concluded: "A diet high in carotenoid-rich
fruits and vegetables offers many health benefits, including a
possible reduced risk of breast cancer."
