34 Vegetables Tested Against Cancer… and the Winners Are?
Dear Doctor
Globally about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer (World Health Organization, WHO, 2018, Cancer Statistics). Yet some of the most common vegetables offer us the best protection against cancer.
Boivin et al., (2009) evaluated the inhibitory effects of extracts isolated from 34 vegetables on the proliferation of 8 different tumor cell lines: breast cancer, brain tumors, kidney cancer, lung cancer, childhood brain tumors, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and stomach cancer. As you can see in their bar graphs the winners were the Allium family and the Cruciferous family. Of those two groups garlic and broccoli were the leaders respectively in inhibiting the proliferation of all tested cancer cell lines.
Order now: Organic garlic.
Each capsule contains very high allicin potential, the anticancer molecule.
Recommended dose for the Organic Garlic: 1-2 capsules daily.
Order now: Glucosinolates and Sulforaphanes (Organic broccoli sprouts)
Each capsule contains high levels of sulforaphane potential, broccoli’s anticancer molecule.
Recommended dose for the Organic Broccoli Sprouts: 1-2 capsules daily.
