Eating Vegetables Doesn’t Stop Cancer?

guestAndy	This is what I read from The New York times: “A major study tracking the eating habits of 478,000 Europeans suggests that consuming lots of fruits and vegetables has little if any effect on preventing cancer.” But we know previous studies show that high vegetable consumption is associated with lower risk for cardiovascular disease. And there is evidence that certain vegetables contain potent, cancer-fighting compounds. And some also suggested a potentially higher anticancer benefit of eating vegetables for people who regularly drink alcohol. How do you think about this? Or do you eat vegetables for sake of preventing disease?
