Recently, cancer among the "leading" lung cancer. And statistics say that men get sick 10 times more often than women.

Doctors believe that this is associated with smoking, since tobacco smoke has a huge amount of substances containing carcinogen, which contribute to the development of the tumor. Smokers become 90% of the total number of patients on lung cancer. When smoking for several years, the human functions and structures of the bronchial epithelium are impaired.

Dr. Gladys Block scientist at the University of California at Berkeley conducted a study of two hundred patients who live in seventeen countries. The scientist came to the conclusion that even people who smoke can partially stop the damage to the body leading to cancer. This will happen in the event that they will eat fruits and vegetables. The most useful in this case are those that contain the greatest amount of beta-carotene, namely carrots, potatoes, spinach and green leafy vegetables.
