Brassica Family for Health:
Much research has focused on the beneficial phytochemicals and sulpher containing compounds in the brassica family (eg. cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts and some Asian greens). These help activate and stabilize the body's antioxidant and detoxification mechanisms that dismantle and eliminate cancer-producing substances. Recent studies show that people who eat more Brassica family vegetables have a much lower risk of breast, prostrate and colon cancer and they have a positive effect on peptic ulcers. To get the most out of these vegetables they should be lightly sautéed, steamed or eaten raw.
