Diet: Consume Fruits and Vegetables

In contrast to factors such as fat and calories, which appear to increase cancer risk, other components of the diet may decrease cancer risk. The most compelling evidence has been obtained for fruits and vegetables, whose consumption has been strongly correlated with a reduction in cancer risk. Although the chemical components in these foods responsible for this protective effect are yet to be identified, eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day is recommended by many groups.
