Yahoo! News - Fruit, Veggies Tied to Lower Pancreatic Cancer Risk
Short version:
Better diet lowers pancreatic cancer risk in men. It is weird that it is only in men. Not sure why.
"The findings, based on a comparison of 585 pancreatic cancer patients and about 4,779 adults without the disease, suggest that the risk of the cancer declines as fruit and vegetable intake increases."
"For reasons that are unclear, the relationship was confined to men"
"In a separate newly published study of the same group, Ghadirian and his colleagues found that the antioxidant lycopene, specifically, appeared protective against pancreatic cancer -- again, only men"
