For a nutritional science geek like me, the new NutritionFacts.org site is a must - check it out if you're interested in these kinds of things. The site and its informative videos are delivered by Dr Michael Greger, whose aim is to put up a new short video every day for a year. No mean feat considering how thoroughly researched his videos are. What's more, he has put up a vast number of "back-catalogue" videos. When I first discovered it, I spent way too much time looking back through these and one of the most interesting was "#1 Anticancer Vegetable." There is also a prequel to this - "Veggies vs Cancer."
These kinds of studies have a lot of caveats and have to be taken with a grain of salt, but nevertheless, I think it is interesting, and the big picture stuff - ie. what veges have the biggest anti-cancer effects - certainly fits in with epidemiological and population studies.
