Broccoli and Colon 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.
