Binge on broccoli
This veggie may hold specific powers for preventing cancer. One recent study from Oregon State University found that sulforaphane, a dietary compound present in high amounts in broccoli, can help prevent cells from becoming malignant. ‘Recent data from a study at the University of Pittsburgh regarding cancer prevention suggests that sulforophane may prevent certain types of cancers,’ says Dr. Ferris.
‘Potent doses of broccoli sprout extract activate a ‘detoxification’ gene and may help prevent cancer recurrence in survivors of head and neck cancer.’ A clinical trial at the University of Pittsburg Cancer Institute is under way to see if broccoli sprout extract can prevent oral cancers in high-risk patients, Dr. Ferris says.
