Broccoli and Cancer

Compounds isolated from broccoli could provide a new weapon against bladder cancer, new research has shown. A previous study found that eating the green vegetable could help protect people from the disease. Men who ate two or more half-cup servings of broccoli were 44 per cent less likely to suffer the disease than those eating fewer than one serving a week. Now the same team of scientists has identified the chemicals in broccoli that are thought to inhibit bladder cancer. (Daily Mail)
