Although the mechanisms of this protection are unclear, feeding of vegetables induces …

Epidemiological and laboratory studies suggest that dietary broccoli may prevent or delay a
variety of cancers. Broccoli and other crucifers contain a relatively unique family of …

The putative anticarcinogenic activity of Brassica vegetables has been associated with the
presence of certain glucosinolates. 4-Methylsulphinylbutyl isothiocyanate (sulphoraphane) …

Broccoli sprouts are a rich source of glucosinolates and isothiocyanates that induce phase 2
detoxication enzymes, boost antioxidant status, and protect animals against chemically …

Broccoli inflorescences have been recognized as components of healthy diets on the basis
of their high content of fiber, vitamin C, carotenoids, and glucosinolates/isothiocyanates …

Consumption of broccoli has long been considered to play a role in a healthy diet. Broccoli
accumulates significant amounts of the phytonutrient glucoraphanin (4-methylsulfinylbutyl …

Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate from broccoli, is one of the most potent food-derived
anticarcinogens. This compound is not present in the intact vegetable, rather it is formed …
