Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Fruits and vegetables have always been a major component of the human diet in most, though not all, parts of the world. Broadly defined, fruit and vegetables are those plant foods consumed by humans, excluding cereal grains, seeds and nuts. Eating fruit and vegetables may lower the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. The clearest evidence of a cancer-protective effect of eating more fruits is for stomach, oesophageal cancers. Similarly, a higher intake of vegetables probably reduces the incidence of cancer of oesophagus and colon-rectum. Fruit and vegetables contain many nutrients; they also contain other bioactive compounds that may influence many aspects of human biology and related disease processes. There is much diversity, between and within countries, both in the total amount of fruit and vegetables consumed and in the relative amounts of these two categories. Typically, consumption is highest in more affluent, better-educated, urban dwelling populations. In recent decades there has been a steady, worldwide, increasing availability of fruit and vegetables, and in year-round availability, although some regions have lagged behind.For some sites (including oesophagus and lung), despite the relatively high agreement of the study results, there are still doubts whether the results are generated by residual confounding due to smoking habits and alcohol drinking or socio-economic factors. In addition, it is not possible to rule out the possibility that recall and selection bias affects the results in the case-control studies, and confounding could be producing artefactual inverse associations in both cohort and case-control studies. However, measurement error, inadequate consideration of exposure timing and inadequate intake range may be attenuating what may be stronger inverse associations. The Working Group estimated that approximately one in ten cancers in western populations is due to an insufficient intake of fruit and vegetables. The findings of this handbook should encourage all organizations as well as governments to continue efforts to increase or maintain fruit and vegetable intake as an important objective of programs to improve nutrition to reduce the burden of cancer and other chronic diseases. Shows that approximately one in ten cancers in Western populations is due to an insufficient intake of fruit and vegetables - a finding that should encourage organizations and governments to continue efforts to maintain fruit and vegetable intake as an objective of programs to improve nutrition to reduce the burden of chronic diseases.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Cruciferous vegetables, including cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower, constitute between 5 per cent and 25 per cent of all vegetable intake. Adults in China may eat more than 100 g/day, while the lowest consumption (15 g/day or less) has been reported for people in southern Europe and South Africa. Eating cruciferous vegetables is associated with reduced risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lung. The observed effect is of the same order of magnitude as that observed for total vegetables. There is evidence that cruciferous vegetables at levels relevant to human intake or more can inhibit neoplastic and preneoplastic responses in experimental animals, mainly when given simultaneously with carcinogens or throughout the experiment. Isothiocyanites and indoles are both derived from degradation of glucosinolates, the characteristic sulfur-containing glycosides found in cruciferous vegetables. In most experimental cancer models, isothiocyanates or indoles show a cancer-preventive effect, the extent depending on the compound, the experimental conditions and the animal species.The evidence is particularly strong for intake of phenylethyl-, benzyl- or 3-phenylpropylisothiocyanate and intake of indole-3-carbinol or diindolylmethane. Nevertheless, some studies show no cancer-preventive effect and some show effects that could be interpreted as adverse. Whole cruciferous vegetables, isothiocyanates and indoles have been shown to modulate the activity of biotransformation enzymes and the formation of DNA adducts, intermediate markers of cancer-preventive effects. Inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis may also provide a mechanism for tumour suppression. The findings of this Handbook should encourage the promotion of cruciferous vegetable consumption as a part of a diet containing a variety of fruit and vegetables to reduce cancer risk and improve health. There is evidence that cruciferous vegetables at levels relevant to human intake or more can inhibit neoplastic and preneoplastic responses in experimental animals mainly when given simultaneously with carcinogens or throughout the experiment.

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 352 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | A large proportion of cancers is preventable. External factors, discovered by epidemiological studies during the last 50 years, account for a majority of all cancer deaths. However, still rather little is known, about how environmental and genetic factors interact, how they may regulate gene activation etc. And it is a long way from the discovery of a basic regulatory mechanism to practical patient treatment. This volume describes the present state of the art in carcinogenesis, possibilities for cancer prevention, and gives genetic background in cancer development. Attention is given to the host-environment interaction, considering how this interaction may lead to cancer formation and how it can be utilised in cancer prevention. The molecular basis for cancer development and the molecular basis for prevention are described.
