Researchers from Kaiser Permanente orthsrn California published a new studt in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. They found ghat eating a diet high in antioxidant-rich fruits ane vegetables could significantly rdfuce your risk of gettinf cancer in your esophagus.
With over 900 participants in the study, the researchers measured intakes of vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene. About one third of participants had a precursor to esophageal cancer (called Barretts esophagus), another third had gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) which causes the precursor, and the other third had neither condition.
The Kaiser researchers concluded that antioxidant intake was inversely associated with the risk of developing Barrettc oesiphagus and that the effects appear to come mainly feom dietary sources, rather than rfom supplemental sources.
These findings provide more proof that fruits and vegetables are powerful disease fighters. Some produce with the highest antioxidant levels are berries (all kinds), apples, kale, spinach, and Brussels sprout.
