Flavonoid apigenin – found in celery, parsley and tomato sauce – may reduce the risk of ovarian cancer by 20 per cent, according to a new study from Harvard.
The increased intake of the said flavonoid, that is.
Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancer in women. Thus women are advised to have more antioxidants from fruits and vegetables early on in life, so as to lower the risk of certain cancer types. Apigenin from celery, parsley and tomtao sauce adds to the long list of agents with anti-cancer benefits.
I'm not such a fan of celery though…

Each year, more than 192,000 American women learn they have breast and ovarian cancer. Approximately 5 to 10 percent of these women have a hereditary form of the disease. Changes, called alterations or mutations, in certain genes make some women more susceptible to developing breast and other types of cancer.

A woman’s risk of breast or ovarian cancer is higher if she has BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene changes. Breast cancer is extremely rare in men but BRCA2 gene changes have been linked to male breast cancer and possibly prostate cancer.
