Drinking tea and orange juice could cut a woman’s risk of ovarian cancer by up to a third, claim researchers. 研究人员称，常喝茶和橙汁能够将女性患卵巢癌的风险降低至少三分之一。 A major 30-year study found that compounds in tea and citrus fruits could protect against the devastating disease. 一项长达30年的研究发现，茶和柑橘类水果中所含的复合物能够有效预防卵巢癌这一可怕的疾病。 Ovarian cancer – known as the silent killer because women are often diagnosed too late for a cure – affects almost 7,000 women a year in the UK and kills more than 4,000. 卵巢癌被视为“隐形杀手”，因为大多数女性在被诊断出此病时都已经到了无法治愈的晚期。在英国每年患卵巢癌的女性约有7000人，而超过4000人因此丧命。 The University of East Anglia scientists, who studied the diets of 171,940 women aged 25 to 55 for more than three decades, found that those who ate foods high in the antioxidant compounds flavonoids – including tea, red wine, apples and citrus fruits – had a much lower risk of developing ovarian tumours. 英国东英吉利大学的科学家们30多年来研究了年龄在25岁-55岁之间的约17.1万名女性的日常饮食，发现那些经常食用茶、红酒、苹果、柑橘类水果等这些富含抗氧化类物质类黄酮的食物的女性患卵巢癌的几率较低。 |
