Concerned about your risk of cancer? Try some sprouts and other vegetables.
That's the advice of researchers from the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland who report that roughly four ounces of sprouted vegetables every day appear to protect against DNA damage in human blood cells, according to a United Press International report.
"DNA damage is associated with cancer risk. Sources of DNA damage include diet-related carcinogens, and bodily processes like oxidative stress -- and the raw sprouts protect against this kind of damage," said study co-author Ian Rowland.
"Just a 4-ounce portion per day of a mix of broccoli, radish, alfalfa and clover sprouts was enough in our tests to show the protective effect," Rowland added.
The study appears in the journal Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, according to the news agency.
