They analysed data from six European countries, collecting information from 2359 adult consumers of plant food supplements in Finland, Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain and the United Kingdom.
The main findings include:

Now, there is evidence that cancer was present in humans more than 3,000 years ago; archaeologists have discovered the world's first complete human skeleton with metastatic cancer that dates back to 1200 BC.
The research team, led by Michaela Binder, a PhD student in the Department of Archaeology at Durham University in the UK, recently published the details of their discovery in the journal PLOS ONE.
The investigators say their findings could provide insight into the evolution of cancer and lead to discoveries that may help future treatment of the disease.
Binder discovered the skeleton last year in a tomb at Amara West in northern Sudan. The skeleton is of a young adult male, estimated to be between [...]
