1. Lettuce is believed to prevent cancer.

Explanation

Lettuce is believed to prevent cancer because it contains antioxidants, such as vitamin C and beta-carotene, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Additionally, lettuce is a good source of fiber, which can help maintain a healthy digestive system and reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, such as colorectal cancer. While more research is needed to fully understand the extent of lettuce's cancer-preventive properties, current evidence suggests that including lettuce in a balanced diet may contribute to a lower risk of cancer.
