Broccoli 'stopped spread of cancer'
An elderly cancer sufferer told how he believed he had stopped the spread of the disease by drinking a daily tumbler of broccoli juice.

Leicester grandfather Ray Wiseman, 79, was diagnosed with bladder cancer five and a half years ago and doctors, he said, did not expect him to survive.

But the former clothing worker from Braunstone was told that the cancer had been halted in its tracks and experts at Cancer Research UK want to examine the possible link with his broccoli habit.

All veggies in that group have very high anti-ox properties.

Yeah, the comedian.. It was in one of his shows back in the late 90's I think. I'll have to look back into my archives..One of the funniest men on the planet. I will miss him dearly.

How Broccoli Fights Cancer

How Broccoli Fights Cancer

Just a few additional portions of broccoli each week could protect men from prostate cancer. Researchers believe a substance called isothiocyanate in the broccoli sparks hundreds of genetic changes, activating some genes that fight cancer and switching off others that fuel tumors.

Prostate cancer kills more men than any other kind except for lung cancer. Each year, 680,000 men worldwide are diagnosed with the disease and about 220,000 will die from it.

The benefit derived from broccoli would likely also be available from other cruciferous vegetables that contain isothiocyanate, including Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, arugula, watercress and horseradish.
