这些食物可预防癌症

1. 苹果

Apples are a good source of fibre and vitamin C – both vital for general good health. But when it comes to fighting off cancer, it's thought the key component may be quercetin, a naturally occurring chemical that can dampen down inflammation in the body and stop cells decaying.

苹果富含纤维和维生素C——这对于身体健康至关重要。但在抗癌方面，苹果含有一种关键成分——槲皮素，这是一种可抑制体内炎症并阻止细胞衰老的化学物质。

Other similar cancer-fighting chemicals, such as triterpenoids, are found mainly in the skin, which is why some experts believe it's better to eat the whole fruit rather than peel it.

其它类似的抗癌化学物质，如三萜类化合物，主要存在于苹果皮中，因此有些专家认为吃苹果最好带皮一起吃。

A 2016 study in Italy found eating at least one apple a day could potentially cut the risk of lung cancer by 25% and also offer protection against tumours of the bowel, mouth and breast.

2016年，意大利的一项研究发现：每天至少吃一个苹果可以将人们患肺癌的风险降低25%，同时还可以预防肠肿瘤、口腔肿瘤和乳腺肿瘤。
