Dispel Cancer with Broccoli

Recent research says that the black berries and broccoli and some fresh vegetables may reduce the risk of esophageal cancer and bile duct. Vegetables and fruits have long been known to reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Meanwhile, research conducted at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York, the United States found that broccoli and some fresh vegetables can be used to fight bladder cancer.Using mice, the team headed by Dr. Yuesheng Zhang, professor of cancer experts demonstrated that broccoli extracts can mengngari emergence of bladder cancer by 70 percent.

"Our latest research suggests that broccoli extracts can inhibit the development of bladder cancer. We do not yet know whether the same extract can inhibit bladder cancer when it is grown, "said Zhang, who also revealed that the compound sulforaphane in broccoli is capable of preventing cancer. "Next we plan to investigate the broccoli extract to fight cancer in humans," explains Zhang.

A second team at the same institute found that those who ate three or more servings of fresh raw vegetables per month reduced their risk of bladder cancer by 40 percent. Fresh vegetables include broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower.

The team analyzed the dietary habits of 275 people with early stage bladder cancer and 825 healthy individuals. The researchers specifically asked how many of these people eat cooked and raw vegetables they consumed before the diagnosis of disease and whether they smoked.

This analysis shows that the more raw and fresh vegetables are consumed, the lower the risk of these people suffer from bladder cancer. In comparison to smokers and those who consume only about three servings of raw vegetables every day, those who never smoked and ate three servings of raw vegetables every day, 73 percent lower chance of developing bladder cancer.

"In our study, found fresh and raw vegetable consumption lowered the risk of bladder cancer in light smokers and heavy," Li said pliers, lead researcher. These researchers assert that these benefits come from raw vegetables and fresh.

"It also confirms that there are many different components in fruits and vegetables are beneficial lowering cancer risk. Research like this helps to help us understand the effect of specific nutrients to certain types of cancer, "said Colleen Doyle, director of nutritional and physical activity for the American Cancer Society.

"Cook vegetables as quickly as possible or if possible eat fresh vegetables at least five servings per day, five kinds of colors. These foods contain lots of antioxidants and phytochemicals. Cancer must be reluctant to stop in your body, "explains Doyle.
