Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreasing intake of high-fiber foods will not help prevent cancer. Consuming high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains has been shown to lower the risk of certain types of cancer. Avoiding carcinogenic chemicals, excessive sunlight, and lowering total fat intake can also help prevent cancer. Increasing consumption of broccoli specifically has been shown to have some cancer-preventing properties, but is not the only behavior that can prevent cancer.
