ISLAMABAD, Sep 16 (APP): Orange could prove to be crucial in the
prevention of cancer.
In a forthcoming review article from Nutrition and Cancer: researchers
reviewed available evidence that links orange juice with cancer chemoprevention.

many potential positive effects when it comes to cancer, particularly because it is high in anti-oxidants, Radio Pakistan reported on Monday.

reduce the risk of leukemia in children, as well as aid in chemoprevention against mammary, hepatic, and colon cancers.
