A high fruit diet may be a viable dietary tool for preventing colorectal cancer in men.
This study set out to shed more light on the association between the consumption of fruits and the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer. Researchers examined dietary and health records obtained from participants recruited from UK Biobank and the FinnGen Consortium Cohorts.
Researchers noted that increased intake of fruits significantly decreased colorectal cancer risk in men, but not in women. The findings of this study revealed that adequate consumption of fruits may help fight off colorectal cancer in men.
