TLDR
An attempt has been made in this article to review the relative efficacy of chlorophyll and chlorophylla in modifying the genotoxic effects of various known toxicants.Abstract:
Reports on an inverse relationship between the consumption of fresh vegetables and human gastrointestinal cancer have been followed by screening for the protective activity of a large number of plant extracts, including leafy vegetables. Chlorophyll is ubiquitous in all green plant parts. Chlorophyllins are derivatives of chlorophyll in which the central magnesium atom is replaced by other metals, such as cobalt, copper or iron. An attempt has been made in this article to review the relative efficacy of chlorophyll and chlorophyllin in modifying the genotoxic effects of various known toxicants.read more

Nutrition and cancer: A review of the evidence for an anti-cancer diet
TL;DR: A diet compiled according to the guidelines here is likely that there would be at least a 60–70 percent decrease in breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers, and even a 40–50 percent reduction in lung cancer, along with similar reductions in cancers at other sites.

Digestion, absorption, and cancer preventative activity of dietary chlorophyll derivatives
TL;DR: Chlorophyll and its various derivatives are believed to be among the family of phytochemical compounds that are potentially responsible for such associations as mentioned in this paper, and the potential of chlorophyll as a cancer preventative agent has drawn significant attention recently.

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that F&V have the strongest effects in relation to prevention of CVDs, noting a nonlinear threshold effect of 800 g per day (i.e., about 5 servings a day).

John S. Witte,Matthew P. Longnecker,Cristy L. Bird,Eric R. Lee,Harold D. Frankl,Robert W. Haile +5 more
TL;DR: Findings support the hypothesis that high intake of vegetables, fruits, or grains decreases the risk of polyps and suggest that any protective effects might reflect unmeasured constituents in these foods.

Diet in the Epidemiology of Cancer of the Colon and Rectum
TL;DR: The decrease in risk the authors found associated with frequent ingestion of vegetables, and especially cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli, is consistent with the decreased numbers of tumors observed in animals challenged with carcinogens and fed compounds found in these same vegetables.

Stomach cancer in Japan.
TL;DR: The lower risk of developing stomach cancer for lettuce and celery users agreed with the Hawaiian-Japanese findings, and the combined results supported conjectures on possible protective food effects.
