Women who frequently consume citrus fruits are less prone to develop breast cancer.

This study examined the effect of regular intake of citrus fruits on breast cancer risk. Researchers conducted a systematic review on data and evidence extracted from 6 studies. They found out that a 6% reduction in breast cancer risk was associated with consistent consumption of citrus fruits. The results of this meta-analysis indicate that high dietary ingestion of citrus fruits may be beneficial in the prevention of breast cancer development.
