Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Cauliflower Did you know that along with its wealth of vitamins and minerals, cauliflower, like the other cruciferous vegetables, contains powerful sulfur compounds that have repeatedly been found to help prevent cancer? These include sulforaphane and isothyiocyanates, two compounds that help the liver to neutralize potentially harmful cancer causing compounds and to suppress tumor cell growth and the movement of cancer to other parts of the body (metastasis). A 7-year study in Australia followed 609 women newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer, a very aggressive form of cancer. It was found that including 5 servings a day of vegetables, particularly cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, had an especially beneficial effect on their survival rates. And since one cup of raw cauliflower contains only 40 calories, it.s a great low calorie addition Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?
