科学公认，水果可有效预防癌症
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is good for you. But when you are having cancer treatment or trying to prevent cancer from coming back, some fruits may be better than others.
多吃水果和蔬菜对你有好处。但当你正在接受癌症治疗或试图防止癌症复发时，一些水果可能比其他的更好。
Although there are no foods, and certainly no fruit can completely prevent or cure cancer.
虽然没有食物，当然也没有水果可以完全预防或治疗癌症。
However, some fruits may have anti-cancer properties. Here are the top 6 fruits with the ability to prevent cancer recommended by the American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR).
然而，有些水果可能具有抗癌特性。以下是美国癌症研究所推荐的6种最能预防癌症的水果。

哪些水果能有效预防癌症?
1. Oranges, grapefruit
桔子、柚子
Citrus fruits, like grapefruit and oranges, may help prevent several cancers. A large study in Japan found that people who ate citrus fruit or juice 3-4 days a week were less likely to develop cancer than those who ate them for 2 days or less in a week.
柑橘类水果，如葡萄柚和橙子，可能有助于预防几种癌症。日本的一项大型研究发现，每周吃3-4天柑橘类水果或果汁的人比每周吃2天或更少的人患癌症的可能性更小。
2. Apples
苹果
According to the American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR), people who regularly eat apples have a lower risk of lung cancer as well as some types of breast cancer.
根据美国癌症研究所(AICR)的研究，经常吃苹果的人患肺癌和某些类型乳腺癌的风险较低。
3. Blueberries
蓝莓
Dr Soma Mandal, a graduate of the School of Medicine, New York University (USA) said: "The dark green color of blueberries comes from anthocyanins, powerful compounds with antioxidant effects. Antioxidants have the function of inhibiting the formation of free radicals, rapidly changing molecules that are harmful to DNA.
毕业于美国纽约大学医学院的Soma Mandal博士说:“蓝莓的深绿色来自花青素，一种具有抗氧化作用的强效化合物。抗氧化剂有抑制自由基形成的功能，能迅速改变对DNA有害的分子。
And in fact, people who consume higher amounts of anthocyanins are less likely to experience inflammation and oxidative stress, AICR said.
事实上，摄入更多花青素的人不太可能经历炎症和氧化应激，AICR说。
4. Grapes
葡萄
Succulent fruits are rich in the antioxidant resveratrol. Research by the University of Colorado Cancer Center, University of Colorado shows that this extract in grapes may play a role in preventing the growth of cancer of the stomach, breast, liver and lymph. One thing to note is that eating whole grapes will have a better cancer-preventing effect than drinking red wine.
多肉水果富含抗氧化剂白藜芦醇。科罗拉多大学癌症中心的研究表明，葡萄中的这种提取物可能在防止胃癌、乳腺癌、肝癌和淋巴癌的生长中发挥作用。需要注意的一点是，吃全葡萄比喝红酒有更好的防癌效果。
5. Strawberries
草莓
They can be a sweet treat and at the same time a healthy "remedy". Strawberries contain many antioxidants such as flavonoids and tannins. In addition to removing harmful free radicals, according to a review by the United Arab Emirates University, these compounds are also believed to help fight DNA damage and inhibit cell growth cancer.
它们可以是一种甜蜜的款待，同时也是一种健康的“补救”。草莓含有许多抗氧化剂，如类黄酮和单宁。根据阿拉伯联合酋长国大学的一项研究，除了清除有害的自由基，这些化合物还被认为有助于对抗DNA损伤和抑制癌症细胞生长。
6. Cherry
樱桃
Like strawberries and blueberries, cherries are rich in phytochemicals - which help to protect the cells in the body from damage that can lead to cancer. "These bioactive compounds can target key areas in the growth of cancer cells," says Dr. Mandal. Eating them regularly can help reduce signs of oxidative stress and inflammation. "
像草莓和蓝莓一样，樱桃富含植物化学物质，有助于保护体内细胞免受可能导致癌症的损害。曼达尔博士说:“这些生物活性化合物可以针对癌细胞生长的关键区域。经常食用它们可以帮助减少氧化应激和炎症的迹象。”
