Can broccoli help prevent cancer?

Eat broccoli to be cancer free

This is a nice review article, summarizing many other studies (and there are a lot!) to determine the beneficial effects of brassica family vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts) on cancer risk.

They conclude: "high consumption of brassica vegetables is associated with a decreased risk of cancer. This association appears to be most consistent for lung, stomach, colon, and rectal cancer and least consistent for prostatic, endometrial, and ovarian cancer."

So, eat that broccoli! For a flavor change add one or more of the following herbs to the cooking water:

1. a little crushed Thyme or
2. a small bay leaf
3. a little garlic powder
