Does eating apples prevent lung cancer? You should know these common sense about preventing lung cancer

Can eating apples prevent lung cancer? Many people believe that eating apples can prevent lung cancer, but is this effective? After multiple investigations by experts and combined with the research results of some experts, it is concluded that this method is still effective, so the following experts will introduce the scientific evidence of this method. I hope it can solve some of your doubts.

A research report published by Finnish researchers shows that eating apples regularly can reduce the risk of lung cancer. They point out that the flavonoids in apples are important antioxidants produced by the metabolism of jujube plants and are the main reason for reducing the incidence of lung cancer.

The National Institute of Public Health in Helsinki started this long-term study in 1965. During the 30-year study, the diet of about 1,000 Finns was investigated. The results showed that the main reason for cancer prevention is not the vitamin C and beta-carotene contained in fruits and vegetables, but the flavonoids contained in apples, vegetables and other fruits.

95% of the people surveyed obtained a flavonoid compound called quercetin from apples. Those who normally consume apples, onions, juices, vegetables and jams that contain the most flavonoid compounds have a 20% lower incidence of lung cancer. Those who regularly consume foods containing flavonoid compounds, especially apples, have a 46% lower incidence of lung cancer. For this reason, Mr. Greg Bainter, the manager of sales and consumer services of TreeTop, the world's largest apple juice production company, pointed out, "This is exciting information for the world, and we look forward to further research to understand the role of apples."

In addition, the latest research from Cornell University in the United States also found that apples contain a large amount of antioxidants.
