According to a study* by Harvard researchers, you might be able to reduce your risk of ovarian cancer by 20% by eating more of the flavonoid apigenin. It’s found in celery, parsley and tomato sauce.
I read about the study over at Well Woman Blog by Gloria. I’ve never been much of a celery fan myself, but I’ll certainly find more excuses to use parsley!
Do you eat certain foods to reduce your risk of cancer?
*Study “Flavonoid intake and ovarian cancer risk in a population-based case-control study” is published in the International Journal of Cancer, Volume 124, Issue 8
