Systematic Review Finds Cruciferous Vegetable Intake Linked to Reduced Risk of Multiple Cancers
By
@EBSCO
Summary
This systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of 226 epidemiological studies examines the relationship between cruciferous vegetable intake (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) and various cancers. Higher consumption is linked to reduced risk of colorectal, lung, upper gastrointestinal, gynecological (ovarian and endometrial), bladder, renal, and prostate cancers, with specific intake thresholds identified (3-7.4 servings per week). Regional differences were found: stronger associations with lung cancer, HNSCC, and esophageal cancer in Asian populations, while colorectal, renal, gynecological, and prostate cancers showed stronger associations in American populations. The protective effect is most significant within 2-15 years of follow-up.
