Oxford, March 17: It is widely believed that a vegetarian diet has several health benefits. Now a new U.K. research suggests that a diet rich in vegetables could protect against various cancers.
For most people, nutritionists already recommend a diet that is typically high in fruit and vegetables and relatively low in red and processed meat in order to maintain overall health.
But, the novel research, undertaken by Cancerdefine Research, UK at Oxford University, suggests that eating no meat at all may also help to reduce the cancer risk.
