How Broccoli Soup Helped Men Beat Early-Stage Prostate Cancer
If nobody’s forced vegetables on you since you were a kid, consider this an order. British researchers found that cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, cabbage, and cauliflower, may quash a gene in prostate tissue related to prostate cancer.
In the study, men with early-stage prostate cancer ate broccoli soup for a year. Those who had a soup with a boost of glucoraphanin—a phytonutrient in certain vegetables—saw total suppression of the gene that causes cancer cells to infect healthy tissue.
