有些水果蔬菜对防止胰腺癌更加有效

研究成果显示：洋葱、大蒜、豇豆、萝卜、玉米、深色叶蔬菜、柑桔类水果等，防止胰腺癌效果最为显著。

美国加利福尼亚大学的研究小组调查了2200人的饮食。

癌症专家以前也曾经做过类似调查，但需要更多的调查结果。

在英国，每年死于胰腺癌的人数超过一万人。目前为止，胰腺癌依然是很难治愈的疾病，病人五年生存率不到3%。

美国加州大学科研人员发表的这份报告说，每天吃5份水果蔬菜可以降低胰腺癌患病率50%。

报告说，如果吃九个水果，或者九次蔬菜也可以达到同样的效果。

研究发现：吃生的蔬菜比煮熟的蔬菜效果更佳。研究人员调查了532名癌症病人，以及1700名健康人。

研究小组成员霍利说："虽然胰腺癌不象乳癌或者肺癌那样普遍，但胰腺癌非常难以诊断和医治。"

她说："现在有充分的证据显示只要改变饮食习惯，就可以大幅度降低胰腺癌的发病率。"

The singer, 58, emerged with his partner, 43, to pose for photos and wave to hundreds of well-wishers.

Arm-in-arm, they blew kisses at the throng and accepted gifts before leaving in a black Rolls-Royce.

The ceremony - to be followed by a party at the singer's nearby mansion - came on the first day same-sex unions become legal in England and Wales.

Sir Elton and Mr Furnish are among 700 gay couples joining in a civil partnership on Wednesday.

Similar ceremonies took place first in Northern Ireland on Monday, then in Scotland on Tuesday.

The couples will be granted new rights in areas such as employment, pension and inheritance. But the partnerships are not officially regarded as marriages under UK law.

The couple arrived seven minutes early for the 1100 GMT service in a black saloon car with tinted windows.

They were preceded by a small number of guests, including the British video artist Sam Taylor-Wood.

Ms Taylor-Wood - who arrived with Jay Joplin, owner of the White Cube Gallery in London - entered the Guildhall with Arthur, Mr Furnish's black-and-white dog, on a lead.

After the service the happy couple were showered with rice on the steps of the Guildhall. Two young women managed to break through the police cordon to present them with an apple ice-cream cake.

Asked how the ceremony went, Sir Elton said: "Great, thanks."

Sir Antony Sher (right) said his ceremony was "wonderful"

"Everyone clapped, and of course they kissed at the end," added Mr Joplin.

Actor Sir Antony Sher is also celebrating after he and his long-term partner, theatre director Greg Doran, had their own civil partnership ceremony at Islington Town Hall in north London.

"It's wonderful," Sir Antony said. "It's a little bit of history being made.

"I feel very proud this is happening in this country and that we can be part of the very first group to have it done," he continued.

"It means an enormous amount to be legal together after 18 and a half years."
