A diet high in fruits and vegetables decreases the risk of various cancers. And recently, several ingredients extracted from fruits and vegetables are observed to have a protective effect against different cancers as well. Many of them have been allowed to enter clinical trial. Due to the fact that these ingredients possess not only a comparatively high purity and quantity, but also a potential economic value, it seems that they are superior to and could replace fresh vegetables and fruits in cancer prevention in the future. Herein, we proposed the hypothesis: the ingredients cannot take the place of fresh fruits and vegetables in cancer prevention.
高果蔬饮食可降低多种癌症的风险。最近,人们还发现果蔬中的几种成分对多种癌症有保护作用。其中许多成分已获准进入临床试验。由于这些成分不仅具有较高的纯度和含量,而且具有潜在的经济价值,因此它们似乎在预防癌症方面优于新鲜蔬菜和水果,甚至可能在未来取代新鲜蔬菜和水果。在此,我们提出假设:这些成分不能替代新鲜果蔬来预防癌症。
