Greater intake of cruciferous vegetables may lower lung cancer risk in men and women.
This study was carried out to ascertained the protective effect exerted by cruciferous vegetable intake against lung cancer. The study population was made up of 716 Caucasian men and women with lung cancer and 939 individuals without this disease.
Researchers noted a downward trend in lung cancer risk correlated with a upsurge in the rate of consumption of cruciferous vegetables. This study suggested that high dietary ingestion of cruciferous vegetables may turn the tide in favor of individuals who want to enjoy a life devoid of lung cancer.
