Green tea & broccoli & mediterranean diet

I've read articles on these two a dozen times...more articles today...not forwarding them (repetitive) but just remember:

 

- green tea great for your heart (not the Arizona brands with lots of high fructose corn syrup! read the ingredients!)

- broccoli a great cancer fighter (especially prostate cancer)

 

And here is a snippet from an article in Journal of Cancer:

 

Food from nine food groups were measured - monosaturated and saturated fats, fruits, vegetables, legumes such as peas and lentils, cereals such as wholegrain bread and pasta, meat, dairy food, fish and alcohol.

The researchers found that people who followed more closely a traditional Mediterranean diet had a lower incidence of cancer. 

A Mediterranean diet is rich in fruit, vegetables and cereals and contains less red meat and saturated fat.

The researchers found that the biggest effect seen was a 9% reduction in risk achieved simply by eating more "unsaturated" fats such as olive oil.

But by just eating less red meat, and more peas, beans and lentils, the risk of cancer was reduced by 12%.
