Did you notice if we closed up the broccoli, the tiny green tips on a broccoli head look like hundreds of cancer cells? Now, scientists know that this disease busting vegetable can play an important role in preventing the disease.
Last year, a team of researchers at the US National Cancer Institute found that, if we eat broccoli weekly, it was enough to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 45%. In Britain, prostate cancer kills one man every hour!
New research suggests that a mechanism involving antioxidants found in the Brassicaceae family of vegetables which is like cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage, can prevents the build-up of free radicals. Too much production of free radicals can harm cells and even trigger cancers.
