A new study in the journal Current Pharmacology Reports found that cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, and broccoli sprouts have the ability to regulate the genes that cause cancer cells to proliferate.
The scientists at the University of Alabama Birmingham state that “The mis-regulation and over-expression of (certain) genes are responsible for the uncontrolled cellular proliferation … of various types of cancer cells. Regulating the cells’ ability to proliferate at the genetic level is an important step in preventing the disease.
