Eating spinach slashes skin cancer recurrence risk by 55 percent: NewsTarget.com

Eating green, leafy vegetables may reduce the risk of skin cancer recurrence by as much as 55 percent, according to the results of an 11-year Australian study.

The study, conducted by the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, found that participants who ate at least three servings of green leafy vegetables per week -- such as spinach -- more than halved their risk of skin cancer recurrence.

Researchers found that leafy vegetables such as spinach and silverbeet (chard) were linked to the reduction in skin cancer risk, especially for patients who had a history of the disease.
