Extract from broccoli sprouts halved the incidence of bladder tumors in an animal study. The University of Michigan’s Comprehensive Cancer Center found in 2010 that sulforaphane from broccoli extract “killed the cancer stem cells and prevented new tumors from growing” in cell cultures and in animal tests. While the research on broccoli extract’s anti-cancer properties is not yet conclusive, it’s possible that sulforaphane could give doctors a new weapon in the fight on bladder and breast cancer. Broccoli extract cannot replace regular screening and treatment for cancer; it’s vital to maintain your doctor’s recommended schedule for screenings.
Broccoli extract may affect blood cholesterol levels, according to research from the Monterrey Institute of Technology in Mexico.
