Women Who Ate More Antioxidants Had Strikingly Lower Rates of Cervical Cancer
Reported bySciTechDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A nationwide analysis of 2003–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data found that women in the highest third of Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) scores had a 55.8% lower prevalence of cervical cancer than those in the lowest third, with each one-point CDAI increase associated with an 11.4% lower prevalence after accounting for other factors.
The association does not prove antioxidants prevent cervical cancer; it raises questions about whether diet, oxidative stress, and immune function may affect HPV-related disease progression. The study is observational and does not establish causation.
