Biologists Show How Veggies Work in Cancer-Fighting Diet
Did you know: vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage are filled with compounds that could help reverse or prevent cancers and other aging-related diseases? It's called "epigenetics"...and some amazing things have emerged from this work...such as...
Compounds in some veggies and foods suppress gene aberrations that over time cause fatal diseases.
and...these foods actually reverse harmful genetic developments...
for instance...sipping tea compounds called polyphenols in daily amounts that are equivalent to approximately three cups of green tea has been shown to reverse breast cancer in laboratory mice by suppressing the gene that triggers the disease. 
Similarly, a daily cup of broccoli sprouts, which has sulforaphane as an active compound, has been shown to reduce the risk of developing many different cancers. You can get broccoli sprouts at places like Whole Foods and Sprouts Farmers Market, among others...So have more of these: soybeans, cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage. Broccoli sprouts...Green tea, fava beans, kale, grapes and the spice turmeric.
