Scientists Find Cancer Killing Vegetable Compounds

Scientific American's article on Cancer Killers reports on a study by University of Pittsburgh pharmacologist Shivendra Singh.

The study shows that when cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts and cabbage) are chewed it helps to control human prostate tumors grafted into mice.

Other vegetables that show promise include ginger and hot peppers.

The scientists found the chemical released by chewing made the prostate cancer cells kill themselves (a process called apoptosis).

After 31 days treatment the tumours of the mice treated with the chemical (Phenethyl-isothiocyanate) were nearly twice as small as the control group.

If you look at Dr. Sherry Roger's book: Detoxify or Die, you'll see the evidence that shows the toxins that surround us can cause the diseases and cancers we get. At least in Dr. Roger's book you also get shown the ways to reduce the risks of disease and ways to remove toxins.

Other studies reported in Scientific American article show:

• Hot peppers killed human pancreatic cancer in mice
• Ginger powder killed ovarian cancer cells in test tubes
