Abstract:
Cancer causes a considerable disease burden in countries all over the world. Numerous epidemiological evidences suggest that dietary antioxidants are closely related to the incidence， mortality and prognosis of cancer. For example， many antioxidants in fresh vegetables， fruits and legumes have beneficial effects in preventing some common cancers and improving patient survival. Based on our relevant research experience and reported studies from home and abroad， this paper summarizes the results of various epidemiological studies on the association between dietary antioxidants and cancer. Healthy diet education should be conducted in general population for cancer prevention and control.
