Association between fruit and vegetable consumption and oral cancer: a meta-analysis of observational studies.
Regular intake of fruits and vegetables may help guard against the development of oral (mouth) cancer.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between frequent ingestion of fruits and vegetables and the likelihood of developing oral (mouth) cancer by meta-analysis. A total of sixteen studies were included in this meta-analysis.
Researchers discovered that the chances of developing oral cancer decreased by 50% with each portion of fruits and vegetables consumed per day. In conclusion, the results of this meta-analysis suggest that consistent consumption of generous portions of fruits and vegetables may confer individuals with significant protection against oral cancer.
