But are all vegetables equally protective? To win the war on cancer, we must design an anti-cancer diet, which focuses on the foods with the most powerful anti- cancer effects — then we could eat plenty of these foods each day, flooding our bodies with the protective substances con- tained within them. The cruciferous family of vegetables is full of super foods with powerful anti-can- cer effects — we should eat vegetables from this family every day. This family includes green vegetables like kale and bok choy plus some non-green vegetables like cauliflower. Cruciferous vegetables con- tain glucosinolates and in a dif- ferent area of the cell, an enzyme called myrosinase. When we blend, chop or chew these vegetables, we break up the plant cells, allow- ing myrosinase to come into contact with glucosinolates, initiating a chemical reaction that produces isothiocyanates (ITCs) — powerful anti-cancer compounds. ITCs have been shown to detoxify and remove carcinogens, kill cancer cells, and prevent tumors from grow- ing. Observational studies have shown that eating ITC-rich cru- ciferous vegetables protects against cancer — here are a few examples: • Twenty-eight servings of vegetables per week decreased prostate cancer risk by 33 per- cent, but just three servings of cruciferous vegetables per week decreased prostate cancer risk by 41 percent. • One or more servings of cabbage per week reduced risk of pancreatic cancer by 38 per- cent. • One serving per day of cru- ciferous vegetables reduced the risk of breast cancer by over 50 percent. Cruciferous vegetables are especially helpful for prevent- ing hormonal cancers, such as breast cancer, because some ITC, such as indole-3-carbinol (abundant in broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage), can even help the body excrete estrogen and other hormones. In fact, new research has shown additional anti-estro- genic effects of both indole-3- carbinol and sulforaphane (most abundant in broccoli); these ITCs blunt the growth- promoting effects of estrogen on breast and cervical cancer cells. Eating cruciferous vegeta- bles produces measurable isothiocyanates in breast tissue, and observational studies show that women who eat more cru- ciferous vegetables are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. In a recent Chinese study, women who regularly ate one serving per day of cruciferous vegetables had a 50 percent reduced risk of breast cancer. A 17-percent decrease in breast cancer risk was found in a European study for consum- ing cruciferous vegetables at least once a week. Plus, breast cancer survivors who eat cruciferous vegetables regularly have lower risk of cancer recurrence — the more cruciferous vegetables they ate, the lower their risk. Within an overall nutrient- dense eating style, cruciferous vegetables can provide us with a profound level of protection against cancer. Don’t forget: chopping, chewing, blending, or juicing cruciferous vegetables is nec- essary to produce the anti-can- cer ITCs.
