Scientific studies have shown that consuming cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, may decrease the risk of certain types of cancer. Charcoal-grilled meat, on the other hand, has been linked to an increased risk of cancer due to the formation of potentially carcinogenic compounds during the cooking process. Stick margarine often contains trans fats, which have also been associated with an increased risk of cancer. While moderate alcohol consumption (such as a beer) has been linked to a decreased risk of certain types of cancer, overall the World Health Organization has classified alcohol as a carcinogen and recommends limiting consumption for cancer prevention.
