Just as the food we eat, and the toxins we ingest may contribute to many diseases, many ingredients can be beneficial.The link between
broccoli and cancer protection has been known for some time and it now turns out the one of its ingredients ,
sulforaphane, is a
histone deacetylase inhibitor. Drug companies are tyring to develop such compounds - eat broccoli , or
cauliflowers instead ! Broccoli also inhibits the growth of
Helicobacter pylori, a parasite implicated in gastritis, gastric cancer, and more recently,
Parkinson's disease.
