Five a day linked to lower oral cancer rate

People who eat five portions of fruit and vegetables every day have a lower risk of getting oral cancer than people who do not eat enough fruit and vegetables.

This is according to two separate studies that analyzed data on 120 thousand Dutch people between the ages of 55 and 69 years old, the Telegraaf reports. The people were followed from 1986. The Dutch study was a collaboration between the University of Maastricht, Maastricht UMC+ and TNO Leiden, led by Doctor Leo Schouten.

The results of this study shows that eating plenty of fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of various types of head and neck cancer, most strongly when it comes to oral cancer.
