DNA damage measurements were performed in the peripheral blood of 696 of those apparently healthy without cancer controls, including 379 never-smokers and 317 former smokers from seven European countries by the 32P-postlabeling assay. In the Gen-Air controls, the median intake of cruciferous vegetables was 6.16 (IQR 1.16−13.66) g/day, ranging from 0.37 (IQR 0−6.00) g/day in Spain to 11.34 (IQR 6.02−16.07) g/day in the UK. Based on this information, participants were grouped into: (a) high consumers (>20 g/day), (b) medium consumers (3−20 g/day) and (c) low consumers (20 g/day), (b) medium consumers (3−20 g/day) and (c) low consumers ( PB MDPI AG YR 2022 FD 2022-06-13 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10668/21481 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10668/21481 LA en NO Peluso M, Munnia A, Russo V, Galli A, Pala V, Schouw YTV, et al.
