Aug. 18th Popular Fruit Juice Could Reduce Risk of a Common Cancer/Avoid Cucumbers and Apple Peelings for Health’s Sake

About four out of 10 Americans will have cancer at some point in their lifetime. The National Institute of Cancer (NCI) estimates that around 300,000 people will be diagnosed with a form of cancer in 2024 considered the third most common form - representing 15 percent of all new cancer cases. A popular fruit juice may help fight this common form of cancer plus, another less common type.Consuming raw vegetables and fruits are two of the healthiest categories of food we can put in our bodies. Washing fruit and veggies before eating them is common practice in most American households. But new research suggests that this might not be enough to eliminate potentially harmful and/or cancer-causing pesticides from your produce. Scientists at Anhui University used a sensitive test to pick up cancer chemicals, proving washing of veggies and fruits is insufficient.
