As reported by scientists from Britain, on Wednesday (2 / 7), broccoli is great potential to be a cancer preventive food because of the natural has a unique mechanism against cancer.
Richard Mithen, a biologist from the Institute of Food Research, explains, compounds in broccoli may trigger genetic changes in the body until it reaches the hundreds. In addition, the substances in broccoli also activate genes that can fight cancer as well as disable the genes that supply the tumor development.
Previously did a lot of research evidence that supports the importance of fruit and vegetable diet to reduce cancer risk. However, Mithen claims that his research, which was also published in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS One, is the first study in humans to investigate potential biological mechanisms and processes. "Everyone is advised to consume vegetables, but none could explain why. The research we were able to explain why vegetables are good," said Mithen, who led the research.
Prostate cancer is now listed as the second highest killer disease in men after lung cancer. Each year, approximately 680,000 men worldwide are diagnosed with this disease and about 220,000 of them died.
In his research, Mithen and his team involves dozens of men who have precancerous lesions at risk of becoming cancerous prostate. Participants were divided into two groups, namely who gets the intake of broccoli and peas group. Every week for one year this group was given four extra servings of broccoli or peas.
The experts also took tissue samples during the course of the study and they found that men who ate broccoli showed changes in genes that play an important role in fighting cancer. According to investigators, the same benefits are also likely to be obtained from vegetables of the Cruciferae or Brassicaceae species containing isothiocyanate compounds, such as kailan cabbage, cauliflower, cabbage, arugula, watercress and horse radish (a type of radish).
However, further Mithen, broccoli has a special kind of very strong material called sulforaphane, which is believed to make green vegetables have an extra weapon antidote to cancer. "When people have cancer, some genes switched off and a few others. What is done by compounds in broccoli appear to activate genes that prevent the growth of cancer and other deadly gel that makes tumor spread," says Mithen.
He added, broccoli eaters showed about 400 to 500 positive genetic changes in the body, where men who have a similar gene called GSTM1 get maximum benefit from broccoli. Noted half of the population carry the genes of this type.
The researcher did not monitor further the participants to see who ultimately suffer from cancer. However, this finding supports the idea that by eating more vegetables every week to give a big change for health.
