Michigan, Various methods can be taken to prevent and treat one of the most feared diseases of female breast cancer. You may be able to add the broccoli as a daily menu, because broccoli effectively prevent and treat cancer.A study found that green vegetables may be the key to prevent and even cure breast cancer. The scientists found a chemical compound in broccoli that can kill cells, fuel tumor growth. Broccoli contains sulforaphane can kill many cancer cells and prevent disease, researchers are developing or spreading.
"Sulforaphane has been studied before, but this research shows that sulforaphane is useful in inhibiting cancer stem cells," said Professor Duxin Sun, author of the study from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, as reported from Dailymail, Friday (7/5/2010). According to Prof. Sun, this is the new knowledge indicates the potential of sulforaphane or broccoli extract to prevent and treat cancer by targeting cancer stem cells is critical.
A report on these findings published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research. Experts believe that the elimination of cancer stem cells is very important to be able to control the growth of this malignant tumor. The researchers initially tested these compounds in mice, then tested by cell culture complex in human breast cancer in the laboratory. They found similar results.
The results show decline in populations of cancer stem cells after treatment with sulforaphane, with little effect on normal cells. In addition, cancer cells are treated with chemicals that can not generate a new tumor. Because their work has not been tested in patients, they advise people sulforaphane supplements on their daily menu, to anticipate prevent or treat cancer.
Typical bitter taste of broccoli, making a lot of undesirable people, including former United States president George W. Bush. But health effects have been widely recognized, indicating that the chemicals in these vegetables enhance DNA repair in cells. Other evidence shows that broccoli can keep arteries healthy and can reverse damage caused by diabetes to heart blood vessels. This is because broccoli high in vitamin C and fiber content, and one stalk alone can provide nearly twice the daily intake of vitamin K is recommended for adults.
