Broccoli: Anti-Cancer Superfood
"The compound in broccoli may be one of the strongest anti-cancer fighters we have."
The above quotation is from Emily Ho, a researcher focused on the dietary prevention of prostate cancer at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. Her team of scientists have found that "sulforaphane – a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, bok choy and brussels sprouts – has strong anti-cancer properties. Even more promising results have been found in broccoli sprouts. The tiny, thread-like broccoli sprouts sold at stores next to alfalfa sprouts have more than 50 times the amount of sulforaphane than found in mature broccoli."
Ho says she personally tries to have two servings of cruciferous vegetables a day. Just eating some broccoli sprouts on top of a bagel with cream cheese resulted in histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition.
