Eat Your Vegetables NewsChannel 5 at Noon: 8/8/2002 2:57:44 PM
Eating your
vegetables may be more important than even your parents knew. What we know today
is that broccoli can be used to prevent all kinds of stomach problems including
ulcers and even cancers. Researchers have discovered that a broccoli compound
called sulforaphane works as an anticancer agent that fights a bacterium in the
stomach. This bacterium called Helicobacter pylori – is the leading cause of
cancer deaths worldwide. Broccoli even killed antibiotic resistant strains of
Helicobacter pylori and the bacteria that hide inside the cells. This
information comes from lab work being done at Johns Hopkins University along
with the French National Scientific Research Center. The researchers are ready
to do studies with people. They know their findings will have application not
only in the United States, but also in parts of the world where antibiotics are
not available. |
