Eat your greens
The British Dental Health Foundation believes that eating cruciferous vegetables at least once a week could cut the risk of developing mouth cancer.
The research, which is presented in the Annals of Oncology, revealed that compared to men and women who ate no cruciferous vegetables, those who ate their greens vegetables at least once a week cut their risk of mouth cancer by almost a fifth (17%).
The benefits of cruciferous vegetables didn't stop there. Results also showed the vegetables cut the risk of oesophageal cancer by more than a quarter (28%), colorectal and breast cancer by almost a fifth (17%) and kidney cancer by almost a third (32%).
