Heap your plate with this bunch!
The senior George Bush was most assuredly on the wrong track when, during his presidency, he banned broccoli from the White House.
Good thing for the rest of us men that he kept the ban confined to the White House.
According to a new Canadian study, broccoli is showing the ability to stave off aggressive prostate cancer.
Researchers evaluated a group of 1,338 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. They asked the participants to fill out a food-frequency questionnaire covering 137 food items.
What they found was that there was a correlation between consumption of dark green and cruciferous vegetables, particularly cauliflower and broccoli, and a lowered risk for developing the more aggressive form of prostate cancer.
At a recent medical conference, I listened to researchers from a major research center talk at length about the cancer-preventing powers of—you guessed it—broccoli and its relatives: Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and kale.
So here's a way to naturally fight an all-too-common cancer—and it's as close as your refrigerator crisper. There has long been an association between cruciferous vegetables and cancer-fighting properties. They're rich in phytochemicals, which help your body break down any carcinogenic substances that can lead to cellular changes.
