The indole-3-carbinol is also effective for prostate cancer, it does act in two ways: first blocks several phases of cancer cells and on the other inhibits the production of a protein specific to the prostate (PSA) ; high levels in the protein are indicative of cancer.

The consumption of broccoli along with the tomatoes enhances the effectiveness of this cruciferous against prostate cancer.

Sulforaphane when released in the gut stimulates the production of powerful enzymes that are capable of destroying food substances that promote colon cancer (mainly contained in very roasted meat).

Botanists are developing a variety of broccoli (superbrócoli) that may help fight this cancer.

This new variety of broccoli retains its traditional flavor, but has 100 times more sulforaphane, (compound capable of destroying the contents carcinogens in food).

It is recommended to eat broccoli people treated for colon cancer during the subsequent six to twelve months after surgery.

Stomach cancer is the second most common type of cancer and the second deadliest in the world.

Infections caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (one of the most common in the world) are the cause of gastritis and gastric ulcers as well as being a major cause of stomach cancer.

According to studies at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in USA and published on the journal Cancer Prevention Research, broccoli sprouts three days reduced infections caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, to inhibit the development of the same.

To be an association between stomach cancer and infections caused by this bacterium, a reduction of the bacteria consequently lead to a decrease in that type of cancer.

The agent who owns this building is a natural compound (sulforaphane) found in high amounts in broccoli (specifically in the shoots of the garden).

The laboratory experiments show that this eliminates the bacteria purified phytochemical H pylori resistant to common antibiotics and, furthermore, is capable of ending it within and outside the cell.

Broccoli is rich in antioxidants and specific elements that protect against cancer.

Broccoli protects against cancer by being a vegetable rich in beta carotene and vitamin C, nutritional antioxidants have been shown in numerous studies to have a great capacity to prevent the growth of malignant tumors.

Also has in its composition three elements with anticancer capacity such as: indole (indole-3-carbinol), sulforaphane and phenilisotiocianate.

Broccoli also acts as a protector of benzopyrene (which is a carcinogenic element that originates from combustion processes: car exhaust, cigarettes, stoves, etc).

How it works?
The mechanism which exerts this effect is based on the ability sulforaphane and indoles (indole-3-carbinol,) of inhibiting tumor growth by increasing the activity of certain enzymes which are dedicated to ridding the body of some officers carcinogenic or block its action.

The presence of fiber and vitamin C may also have a synergistic effect in protection against carcinogens.
