UPDATE: 45%!?

Study links mushroom consumption to lower cancer risk
Quote
Hershey, PA — A mushroom – or more – a day may keep cancer at bay, researchers from Pennsylvania State University say.

The researchers, from PSU’s colleges of medicine and agricultural sciences, conducted an analysis of 17 cancer studies from 1966 to 2020 that included more than 19,500 cancer patients. Results show that participants who ate about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of mushrooms a day had a 45% lower risk of cancer than those who didn’t consume mushrooms.

Mushrooms are rich in vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants, PSU says. And although the shiitake, oyster, maitake and king oyster varieties have the highest amounts of a specific cancer-fighting agent, the researchers found that patients who included any variety of mushrooms in their daily diets had a lower risk of cancer.

“Mushrooms are the highest dietary source of ergothioneine, which is a unique and potent antioxidant and cellular protector,”
PSU epidemiology graduate student Djibril M. Ba said in the release. “Replenishing antioxidants in the body may help protect against oxidative stress and lower the risk of cancer.”

I realize this is still by Western models but 45% reduction is very high for any medicine when it comes to cancer, thought that was at least worth pointing out.
