Broccoli Helps Fight Cancer
Broccoli contains a substance that can fight cancer and prevent experts say at least.
And laboratory mice
Scientists tested the effects of sulforaphane, a compound in broccoli, in experiments with mice and cell cultures. They injected various concentrations of the component from broccoli in mice with breast cancer. This shows that the stem cells of cancer decreased after treatment with this substance, this had little effect on normal cells. Unlike chemotherapy, which causes the patient after treatment often feel ill. Cancer cells of mice treated with sulforaphane could no longer create new tumors. Then the scientists tested the effect of the substance on human breast cancer cells in the lab, there were similar results.
Prevention and treatment
The researchers are currently searching for a method of sulforaphane from broccoli to cultivate and preserve. Professor Duxin Sun: “We already know that sulforafoon longer a positive effect on cancer, but this study shows that the growth of stem cells from breast cancer occurs. This new insight suggests the potential of this substance in order to prevent the disease or treat .
