The results observed that increasing dried fruit consumption to 3-5 or more servings per week may have beneficial health effects related to risk of certain cancers, including cancer of pancreas, prostate, stomach, bladder and colon.
In particular, prospective cohort studies determined significant reductions in relative risk of precancerous colorectal polyps, incidence of prostate cancer, or mortality from pancreatic cancer, by, respectively, 24%, 49% and 65%. In conclusion, the data suggest that higher intake of dried fruits may be important in the prevention of cancers of the digestive system.
