Burly sailors like Popeye may not be the only ones to benefits from spinach, with new research suggesting that women who eat spinach may have a lower risk of ovarian cancer than women who don't.
New research, published in the International Journal of Cancer, reports that increased intake of the flavonoid kaempferol, found in spinach and some cabbages, was associated with a 40 per cent reduced risk of ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer accounts for 4 per cent of all cancers diagnosed in women globally, with 190,000 new cases every year. In Europe there are 61,000 new cases each year, with the highest incidence rates found in the Northern European countries of the UK, Ireland, Denmark and Finland.
