"Some research suggests that the glucosinolates may help reduce risk of certain cancers, namely prostate cancer," said Mangiari. When glucosinolates break down, through being chopped or chewed, they produce isothiocyanates. Isothiocyanates may encourage the elimination of carcinogens from the body, resulting in anti-cancer effects, according to a review published in Current Drug Metabolism. A review published in Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology looked at several studies examining cruciferous vegetables and cancer and found that "of the case-control studies 64 percent showed an inverse association between consumption of one or more brassica vegetables and risk of cancer at various sites."
Sulforaphane is also [spoiler:lit]associated with cancer reduction. Studies published in Clinical Cancer Research and Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry have found that it inhibits breast and pancreatic cancer stem cells.
