Raw vegetables and cancer – there is a link!
I just love when I come across articles like this one from my new favorite site Vegetarian Baby. From the article:
“The researchers looked at the past diets of hundreds of breast cancer victims and healthy controls, and like many studies before them, they found a modest trend towards decreased risk of breast cancer development in people with the highest daily vegetable consumption. But when they broke up intake categories into raw vegetables versus cooked vegetables, they were surprised to find that women who ate just a single small salad a day seemed to cut their risk of developing breast cancer in half (compared to those who like only ate a salad every couple days) while the women eating the most cooked veggies didn’t seem to have any protection from developing breast cancer at all.”
See the rest of the article here.

Thank you for the article link, that was great. Congrats on your tattoo! I love tattoos and can't wait to see a picture of yours. I have two myself 🙂 Hope you are healing fast!
thanks aubbie!i was thinking of you this morning. do you do nutrition advising? i want to find someone to look over my food blog entries and give me some pointers.. like where i need some improvement and where i'm doing well.
Can't wait to see your tattoo. But about the study-As a college professor who fears breast cancer, I can tell you that I am always looking for something that prevents the disease that took both my mother and grandmother. This study, written by a general practitioner, does not cite the study and uses the words "may have found a clue" and "seemed to cut their risk." I constantly warn my students about using the Internet for research. I only allow valid research which means citing all research from valid sources. This GP does not cite a study, he mentions it. It also bothers me that the website that posted this study titled the post with, "Raw Vegetables and Cancer- There is a link!"
It's pretty clear that the footnotes citing the study were stripped out
of this articles, since you can still see where they were present. (The
numbers in brackets.) I went digging and found the original version of
this article from his email
newsletter from 2004. The study he's citing is from the
Nutrition and Cancer Journal 46(2):131. It's not online, but here's a summary
of the findings.This
2004 paper is an excellent review of all the research to that point that examined the link between various cancers and raw/cooked vegetables. The
abstract summarizes it nicely, saying that most of the studies found raw or cooked vegetables to decrease cancer risk.That said, "Nine of the 11 studies of raw and cooked vegetables showed statistically significant inverse relationships of these cancers with raw vegetables, but only 4 with cooked vegetables."
I read about the breast cancer thing too, I remember eating the dark green veggies and the tomatoes are the best. I ehave been eating a giant salad for lunch and a fruit smoothie for breakfast too. Funny thing, since I started having the fruit smoothies in the AM, I have been sleeping really well! Seriously, do you know when the last time was that I could say I slept well more that one night in a row? Nope? Neither can I! Haha! Although it has brought on some other issues, but am not going to discuss them here. Haha! I can't wait to see your tattoo! I could not really see it on the video. I tried!
my tattoo pic is on flickr now and i'll post it here tonight.i'm so happy for your sleep! beautiful news! i think food makes a big difference!
Thanks Sweetie! I am going to flickr now, and I cannot wait until the farmers market opens here. I am going to freeze bunches of fruit all summer for fruit smoothies when I cannot buy fresh from a farm.
Hiya Heart 🙂
I do do nutritional counseling. I'll look over your blogs and give you my thoughts, no problem!
you are so kind!
