Spinach Can Reduce Ovarian Cancer Risks
Here’s something from John La Puma, the ChefMD: Spinach has more folic acid than iron, and its flavonoids can help lower ovarian cancer risk.
A recent study indicates eating more spinach may lower ovarian cancer risk. The flavonoid kaempferol found in spinach and some cabbages is associated with a 40 percent reduced risk of ovarian cancer. The study was led by Margaret Gates from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.
