Natural Products for Cancer Prevention/Management (4)

Cruciferous Vegetables

I think everyone knows that regular consumption of vegetables is beneficial to the general health; cruciferous vegetables are especially known to have certain cancer prevention effects.  Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, horseradish, and Bok Choy.  A great number of studies have been conducted to investigate the relationship between cruciferous vegetables and cancer.  Results of these studies clearly show a positive correlation between cancer prevention and consumption of cruciferous vegetable.  Specifically, high intake of cruciferous vegetables might be related to lower risks of breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and lung cancer.
