For kort tid siden kunne videnskab.dk fortælle, at agurker, kål og broccoli inderholder et stof, NMN, som kan bevare ungdommen, i hvert fald hos mus. Nu fortæller BBC news, at forskerne har fundet grøntsager, der specifikt standser cancer og hjertesygdom. Sammen med et hav af lignende studier pege de på, at mange såkaldte livsstilssygdomme er forårsaget af en form for fejlernæring, hvor grønt og frugt fortrænges af animalske fødevarer, herunder mælkeprodukter.
BBC news skriver bl.a:
Eating loads of fruit and vegetables – 10 portions a day – may give us longer lives, say researchers.The study, by Imperial College London, calculated such eating habits could prevent 7.8 million premature deaths each year.The team also identified specific fruit and veg that reduced the risk of cancer and heart disease.The analysis showed even small amounts had a health boon, but more is even better.A portion counts as 80g (3oz) of fruit or veg – the equivalent of a small banana, a pear or three heaped tablespoons of spinach or peas.
