Eating Fruits and Vegetables has little effect on cancer prevention

Eating lots of fruit and vegetables has only a small effect fighting cancer, a new study suggests.

Doctors led by Paolo Boffetta at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York, studied eight years of data  between cancer risk and food, involving 470,000 volunteers
Between 1992 and 2000, more than 30,000 of the participants were diagnosed with cancer.
Boffetta's team found that high consumption of fruit and vegetables had little effect against cancer.
While researchers found some benefit against cancer, it was much smaller  than previously thought.
The UN's World Health Organisation (WHO) issued a recommendation in 1990 suggesting that five servings of fruit and vegetables per day helped prevent cancer and other diseases.
"Worldwide, low intake of fruits and vegetables is estimated to cause about 19 per cent of gastrointestinal cancer, about 31 per cent of ischaemic heart disease and 11 per cent stroke," the WHO says on its website.

The new study appears online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, published by Britain's Oxford University Press.

Take two Geckos and call me in the morning

Geckos are everywhere in Indonesia and are believed by Chinese and Korean traditional medicine people to help cure cancer as well as skin and respiratory diseases.
Gecko apparently also does wonders for the lungs, kidneys, blood and digestive system.
Dried gecko can be boiled as a tea or ground into powder.

Research shows that Gecko, this traditional Traditional Chinese Medicine helps-fight-cancer.
The studies indicate that Gecko medicine could inhibit tumours though supporting the healthy energy and strengthening the body resistance.
The team led by Prof. Wang from Henan University of China showed that Gecko could strengthen the immune system and suppress protein expression of VEGF and bFGF, which is critical to cancer development.
