Analyzing the results of the volunteers, the researchers found that 1968 of them who consumed regularly and in large quantities green vegetables had weak and almost no symptoms of premenstrual syndrome compared with 1,057 of women who did not consume these vegetables .

The results of the study are published in the American Journal of Epidemiology .
