I think Dr Fuhrhan is wrong to suggest that Vegetable and fruits can
significantly reduce the risk of contracting cancer .
Study: Fruit, Vegetables Useless Against Breast Cancer
If there is one vegetarian food that's highly effective for cancer prevention.
It's the polyunsaturated fats/mineral/protein rich seeds and nuts.

Does a diet rich in fruit and vegetables lower breast cancer risk? New research contradicts the results of earlier reports that suggested a protective benefit. The latest study, published in this week's JAMA, found no link between eating fruits and vegetables and a subsequent decreased risk for breast cancer, among hundreds of thousands of women.Carla H. van Gils, Ph.D., of the University Medical Center, Utrecht, the Netherlands, and colleagues examined how the intake of total and specific vegetable and fruit groups is related to breast cancer risk among participants in the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, a large prospective collaboration project carried out in 10 European countries.

Largest-Ever Study of Diet's Role in Breast Cancer
This project, currently including 519,978 individuals, is the largest ever conducted specifically to investigate the relationship between diet and cancer. It includes participants living in countries from the north to the south of Europe, including a wide range of vegetables and fruits consumed.
For this study, the researchers examined data from 285,526 women between the ages of 25 and 70 years. Participants completed a dietary questionnaire in 1992-1998 and were followed up for incidence of cancer until 2002.
