Broccoli is the top delicious food for preventing breast cancer
[Introduction] According to a recent report in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, U.S. researchers have found through studies on stem cells that broccoli can effectively prevent the spread of breast cancer.
It is reported that there are 46,000 cases of breast cancer in the UK each year, and 12,000 of these will eventually die. The most common chemotherapy has little effect on inhibiting cancer stem cells, and chemotherapy itself also has significant side effects on the body's normal cells.
According to researchers, broccoli contains a high content of sulforaphane, a substance that can target breast cancer cells and kill cancer cells, thereby preventing the spread and development of tumors.
Researchers at the Cancer Center at Michigan State University in the United States have achieved breakthrough success in cell and mouse experiments.
Dr. Duxin Sun, the lead researcher of the study, pointed out that in previous studies, it has been confirmed that sulforaphane has a certain effect on tumor cells, but this is the first time it has been found to have a significant inhibitory effect on breast cancer stem cells. This means that there is potential for the application of sulforaphane in cancer treatment, and eating more broccoli also significantly helps in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
Medical experts generally believe that killing cancer stem cells plays a very important role in slowing tumor growth.
