A study conducted at Newcastle University suggests that consuming carrots in sufficient quantities can provide an anti-cancer effect, with a 20% reduction in developing all types of cancer linked to eating five servings of carrots per week. Even consuming just one serving per week still contributed to a 4% lower chance of getting the disease. The study also found that steaming Brussels sprouts preserves their health-giving qualities, such as glucosinolates, which interact with proteins associated with repairing damaged DNA and promoting cell death in cancer tumors. Additionally, experts recommend using Rooster potatoes for making the best roast potatoes due to their red skins and golden interiors when peeled.
