> Increasing your intake of polyphenols--by eating more fruits and vegetables such as apricots or onions, or by taking supplements--may help to prevent intestinal cancer. That's the conclusion of a report by a group of 14 European partners who participate in the Polybind project. The research suggests that polyphenols--such as quercetin found in onions, red wine and green tea, or catechins found in cherries, tea and apricots--suppress intestinal cancer triggers, or carcinogens.
