Inverse association of antioxidant and phytoestrogen nutrient intake with adult glioma in the San Francisco Bay Area: a case-control study
Avid consumption of antioxidants and phytoestrogens from food sources may help foil the development of glioma.
This study comprehensively assessed if eating foods high in antioxidants and phytoestrogens is beneficial for the prevention of glioma—a form of brain cancer. Researchers compared dietary choices with glioma incidence rates among 1,648 American men and women.
Researchers discovered that the more antioxidant and phytoestrogen-containing foods individuals consumed, the better protected they are from glioma. This study adds to the evidence showing that diets ladened with foods rich in antioxidants and phytoestrogens may prove effective for glioma prevention.
