High consumption of vegetable and fruit colour groups is inversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer: a case-control study
Generous ingestion of colored fruits and vegetables may help shield an individual from colorectal cancer.
This study looked at the intake of colorful fruits and vegetables and its correlation with colorectal cancer risk. Researchers compared the fruit and vegetable consumption levels of 1,057 Chinese men and women diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 1,057 individuals without the disease.
Researchers discovered that the more colored fruits and vegetables eaten by participants, the better protected they are from colorectal cancer. Evidence from this study showed that adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables of different colors may help guard against the occurrence of colorectal cancer.
