Cruciferous Vegetables seem to be the answer to fight colon cancer !

A recent study asks people to eat vegetables to inhibit the occurrence of hereditary colon cancer. Vegetables like- broccoli & cauliflower, in particular have natural ingredients that may reduce the risk of developing hereditary cancers. These cruciferous vegetables are abundant in sulforaphane (SFN) , a compound, which had been previously been shown to inhibit some cancers in rodents induced by carcinogens. SFN has chemo preventive activity.
The American Cancer Society estimated that more than 2/3 of cancer may be prevented through lifestyle modification & diet alone.
