Broccoli Sprouts- Cancer Prevention?


Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food


I eat a handful of broccoli sprouts everyday to aid in the prevention of my cancer returning. According to Johns Hopkins University, 3-day-old broccoli sprouts contain as much as 50 times the amount of some of the health-boosting phytonutrients of the mature broccoli head.


Cancer Prevention Studies done in the lab and in animals show that broccoli sprouts contain sulforaphane, which has anticancer properties. In a study conducted in humans, broccoli sprouts were found to play a role in eliminating cancer-causing chemicals. Large-scale studies are needed to confirm such effects.

Cancer Treatment Broccoli sprouts appear to have anticancer effects in the lab. Preliminary studies are being conducted to see whether there may also be some benefit in humans

.Bacterial Infections Small studies in humans suggest that broccoli sprouts may help reduce inflammation of the stomach caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/broccoli-sprouts
