In the January/94 issue of The American Journal of Epidemiology are the landmark results of this long-term American study of dietary factors as they relate to colon cancer. In tracking 127 foods regularly used by the 41,387 Iowa women who were studied over a five-year period, only one food was found to be associated with a statistically significant decrease in colon cancer - garlic! Protective effects by garlic proved better than fiber or other vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower. Submitted to us by Larry Lawson, here are some quotes from the report:
There have now been five studies world wide (3 in China, 1 in Italy, and 1 in Iran) showing an association between garlic consumption and intestinal tract cancers, but this is the first U.S. study. All in all, there were 212 colon cancer cases studied and 167,447 person-years used in the analysis. |
