An orange a day could keep cancer away

Eating an orange a day can keep certain cancers away, according to a new Australian study.

The Government's key research group, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, found consuming citrus fruits could halve the risk of mouth, larynx and stomach cancers.

One extra serve of citrus a day - on top of the recommended five daily servings of fruit and vegetables - could also reduce the risk of a stroke.
