In the ongoing study he doctors were giving it to ppl with breast cancer and those at high risk during to see its effects. Though id share maybe worth adding to the supplement list. I don't eat enough veggies.



Cancer Prevention
Studies done in the lab and in animals have shown that broccoli sprouts contains sulforaphane, which has strong anticancer properties. In a study conducted in humans, broccoli sprouts were found to play a role in eliminating cancer-causing chemicals. Large scale studies are needed to confirm such effects.

•Bacterial Infections
Small studies in humans suggest that broccoli sprouts may help reduce inflammation of the stomach caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori.

Broccoli sprouts and other studies. Visvanathan is conducting a clinical trial of sulforaphane, a cancer-preventing compound found naturally in broccoli sprouts, to examine its effects on specific factors in breast tissue that are related to breast cancer risk and to assess whether sulforaphane increases the levels of protective enzymes in breast tissue For the study, women newly diagnosed with breast cancer are randomly assigned to take mango juice with broccoli sprout extract, or mango juice alone, prior to undergoing breast reduction surgery or mastectomy Dr. Visvanathan and colleagues will study patients blood and urine samples over a two-week period. Sulforaphane helps mobilize the body's cancer-fighting resources. In animal models, the compound has been shown to prevent breast cancer by turning on enzymes that protect cells.
