If you have grown your own produce, you have probably witnessed your little ones wanting to eat it, especially if they participated in the growing and picking of the fruits or vegetables. A new study by St. Louis University researchers has confirmed that indeed, we need a garden this year for our little ones. The study was first published in the April issue called, the Journal of the American Dietetic Association
The study reported that preschool children that lived in rural areas ate more fruits and vegetables when they were homegrown.
More evidence suggests that a diet with extra fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk for head and neck cancers. The study involved 500,000 retired American men and women. The researchers followed the participants for a 5 year period and documented the cases of head and neck cancers.
Just one extra serving of a fruit or vegetable can greatly reduce the risk of cancer. Participants who ate 6 servings of fruits and veggies daily per 1000 calories, were 29% less likely to develop head or neck cancer. This is the 6th leading cause of cancer death in the world.
“It may not sound like news that vegetables protect from cancer, but there is actually some controversy in the literature. It is important that we do these large studies,” said Dr. Alan Kristal, associate head of the cancer prevention program at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
