Nutrition scientists have
shown over and over that peo-
ple who eat more natural plant
foods — vegetables, fruits,
legumes, nuts and seeds, etc.
— are less likely to be diag-
nosed with cancer. 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.

“Health plans provide many
free preventive services as well
as financial security in the
event of an unexpected illness
or injury,” said Laura Cali,
Oregon insurance commission-
er. “In addition, having cover-
age protects you from facing a
penalty when you file your
taxes.”
Cali reminds Oregonians
that they have to pay their first
month’s premium in order for
their coverage to be effective.
