Mandarins ‘cut liver cancer risk’
BBC News reports here: Eating mandarins may cut the risk of developing liver cancer and other diseases, research suggests. Japanese scientists found the key were vitamin A compounds called carotenoids which give the fruit its orange colour. One study found eating mandarins cut the risk of liver disease, hardened arteries and insulin resistance. And a second found drinking the fruit’s juice cut the risk of patients with chronic viral hepatitis developing liver cancer.
