女性朋友们注意啦！英国东安格利亚大学对17万名25到55岁女性的饮食习惯，进行了为时30年的研究，发现常喝红茶，吃柑橘类水果能降低卵巢癌风险。红茶和柑橘中含有的黄酮成分，与降低卵巢癌发病风险相关，黄酮成分最高摄入量参试者，卵巢癌发病风险低于最低摄入量者。

Tea, citrus products could lower ovarian cancer risk, new research finds
Tea and citrus fruits and juices are associated with a lower risk of developing ovarian cancer, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).

The research reveals that women who consume foods containing flavonols and flavanones (both subclasses of dietary flavonoids) significantly decrease their risk of developing epithelial ovarian cancer, the fifth-leading cause of cancer death among women.
The research team studied the dietary habits of 171,940 women aged between 25 and 55 for more than three decades.
The team found that those who consumed food and drinks high in flavonols (found in tea, red wine, apples and grapes) and flavanones (found in citrus fruit and juices) were less likely to develop the disease.
Ovarian cancer affects more than 6,500 women in the UK each year. In the United States, about 20,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year.
Prof Aedin Cassidy, from the Department of Nutrition at UEA's Norwich Medical School, led the study. She said: "This is the first large-scale study looking into whether habitual intake of different flavonoids can reduce the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer.
"We found that women who consume foods high in two sub-groups of powerful substances called flavonoids -- flavonols and flavanones -- had a significantly lower risk of developing epithelial ovarian cancer.
"The main sources of these compounds include tea and citrus fruits and juices, which are readily incorporated into the diet, suggesting that simple changes in food intake could have an impact on reducing ovarian cancer risk.
"In particular, just a couple of cups of black tea every day was associated with a 31 per cent reduction in risk."
The research was the first to comprehensively examine the six major flavonoid subclasses present in the normal diet with ovarian cancer risk, and the first to investigate the impact of polymers and anthocyanins.
The study was led by Prof Cassidy and Prof Shelley Tworoger, from the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Data was derived from the Nurses' Health Study.
