One Japanese study found compounds in broccoli sprouts significantly reduce helicobacter pylori bacteria in the stomach, thought to be an important factor in ulcers and stomach cancer. Moreover, a broccoli sprout extract was found to help skin damaged by sunburns resist and reduce tumour growth.
Florida researchers reported that garlic’s diallyl sulfide (DAS) component could ward off cancer-causing carcinogens produced by meat cooked at high temperatures. Dangerous enzymes were completely prevented from becoming carcinogenic in human breast tissue cells treated with DAS.
