Observational studies have been conducted to determine if consumption of cruciferous vegetables affects cancer risk in humans, but there is insufficient clinical evidence to indicate that consuming glucoraphanin and other isothiocyanates in cruciferous vegetables is beneficial, according to a 2017 review. [3]
Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is a naturally occurring isothiocyanate whose precursor, gluconasturtiin is found in some cruciferous vegetables, [1] especially watercress. PEITC has been studied for its potential for chemoprevention of cancers, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] such as prostate cancer.
An Oncologist’s Favorite Vegetable for Cancer Prevention It bears repeating that all vegetables have antioxidants and fiber, and can help lower the risk of cancer when eaten regularly.
The healthiest vegetable is watercress, a species of cabbage, according to the CDC, which nabbed a perfect "100" score. That's compared to the sweet potato, which was the least-healthy veggie on ...
A recent review of the biomedical research literature found that "evidence of an inverse association between cruciferous vegetable intake and breast or prostate cancer in humans is limited and inconsistent" and "larger randomized controlled trials are needed" to determine if supplemental indole-3-carbinol has health benefits. [7]
Observational studies have been conducted to determine if consumption of cruciferous vegetables affects cancer risk in humans, but there is insufficient clinical evidence to indicate that consuming isothiocyanates in cruciferous vegetables is beneficial, according to a 2017 review. [18]
Basic research on cabbage phytochemicals is ongoing to discern if certain cabbage compounds may affect health or have potential for anti-disease effects, such as sulforaphane and other glucosinolates. [89] Studies on cruciferous vegetables, including cabbage, include whether they may lower the risk against colon cancer. [90]
3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a compound derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale. [1] It and its parent compound – indole-3-carbinol – are under laboratory research to determine their possible biological properties, particularly in anti-cancer ...
