Fruit, veg and tea may protect smokers from lung cancer

Image...
Conducting the first research of its kind, UCLA researchers have discovered what could be an amazing development.

According to the study, if smokers eat 3 servings of fruit and veg a day as well as drinking green or black tea, they raise their amount of these super special lung cancer fighting flavenoids ingested, supposedly making them less susceptible to lung cancer.

The researchers have openly admitted that more research needs to be done, but what they have found has left them optimistic.

“What we found was extremely interesting, that several types of flavonoids are associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer among smokers.”

    I'm sure a good diet reduces the risk of cancer, but something tells me that courgettes and broccoli will not compensate for the amount of cigarettes I smoke.
