Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra
See book keywords and concepts |  For example, the complex sugars (oligosaccharides) contained in beans or cruciferous vegetables may not be completely broken down in the body. These complex sugars pass down into the large intestine, where they are then acted upon by the normal endogenous, but not so friendly bacteria, E. coli. The metabolic by-products of this functional maldigestion/malabsorption are the gases carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane. Even eating only small quantities of these complex "oligosaccharides may produce considerable waste gas. This may cause cramping, discomfort, and flatulence. |

See book keywords and concepts |  What are the beneficial chemicals found in cruciferous vegetables?
They are isothiocyanates. These vegetables include broccoli, cabbage, and brussel sprouts. They have been shown to be chemoprotective against cancer of the breast, liver, esophagus, lung, intestine, and bladder.
61. Is it true that tea can be a cancer preventative?
Many epidemiological studies have shown that green and black tea phenolics inhibit esophageal cancer. It is thought that tea can be beneficial in other ways as well. Studies are currently being conducted.

J To prevent bladder cancer from recurring, eat one to two servings of cruciferous vegetables every day, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, radishes, turnips, and turnip greens. A recent study of 47,909 men found that eating broccoli and cabbage on a regular basis (five or more servings per week) significantly reduces the risk of bladder cancer.
J Reduce your consumption of charcoal-grilled meats and fish. These foods contain heterocyclic amines (HCA), which are linked to bladder cancer. | | After you are out of immediate danger, you can consume at least 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C daily, most of it in the form of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale), parsley, spinach, strawberries, and turnips. Vitamin C's antioxidant effect short-circuits the production of inflammatory chemicals that set off spasms in the coronary arteries.
Q Avoid consuming more than three or four servings of carbohydrates at any single meal. |

DEFINITION
Progesterone is a female sex hormone (produced in the corpus luteum of the ovaries) which prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg and then stops the cell proliferation in the uterus if pregnancy does not occur. | | There are a few exceptions: seeds, nuts, grains, and beans have enzyme inhibitors which must be deactivated by soaking, cooking, or sprouting. cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, contain compounds that can inhibit the function of the thyroid gland and should not be eaten raw.1 To ensure optimum health, eat a broad variety of organic raw fruits and vegetables, cooked whole grains, and enough protein from fish, organic meat, poultry, and eggs, and raw or cultured dairyand your body will take care of the rest. |
Dr. Gary Null
See book keywords and concepts |  You want to include plenty of fresh organic vegetables. cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, are very important for their immune-enhancing properties. You want onions and garlic, the poor man's cure-all.
"Choose from a wide assortment of whole foods. Don't eat the same few over and over again. In this weakened state you can develop allergic responses to the same foods consumed in large amounts. Eating different foods will insure that you get a variety of nutrients, and that will keep you from developing allergic responses. | | Additional plant foods believed to decrease the risk include orange oil, onions, garlic, green tea, and cruciferous vegetables. Carotenoid and retinoid supplements have also been shown to prevent breast cancer, including beta carotene, apocarotenal, and canthaxanthion.

See book keywords and concepts |  Consumption of large amounts of these cruciferous vegetables, which, ironically, have been shown to have impressive anticarcinogenic properties, can cause iodine-deficiency disease, goiter, thyroiditis, and hyper- or hypofunction of the thyroid gland.
If you have an underactive thyroid gland, an excessive intake of these vegetables can worsen your condition by undermining the effectiveness of such medications as Proloid, Synfhroid, and similar others. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Jean had been on estrogen replacement therapy for several years and her diet contained large amounts of thyroid inhibitors, including unsaturated fatty acids, raw cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli; lightly steaming them destroys the thyroid inhibiting substances they contain), and tap water (containing fluoride and many other thyroid inhibitors).69 Soy also figured prominently in Jean's diet; some evidence indicates that soy products may affect the thyroid.? |
Neal Barnard, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  They stimulate your liver to make enzymes that eliminate damaging chemicals such as the hydrocarbons that are common in air pollution. cruciferous vegetables can begin your protection within just a day or two. Raw vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers, and green peppers) and fruits also help your detoxification enzymes by providing glutathione, the carrier molecule that removes toxins from the body.
It is a good idea to keep some vegetables raw or as near to the raw state as possible. Most of their nutrients survive cooking, but a few are reduced by cooking. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts |  They are:
Fish oil (specifically for breast cancer)
Cabbage, collard greens and other cruciferous vegetables (for breast cancer)
Garlic's ajoene and allicin (which may perform as chemotherapy against cancerous cells in general)
Beta carotene in deep orange and deep green vegetables and fruits
Triterpenoids in licorice (which may stifle quick-growing cancer cells and cause some precancerous cells to return to normal growth)
Thumbs Up:
THE ATTACK OF THE ANTICANCER TOMATOES
Pay attention to the lowly tomato. | | This includes soybeans, cruciferous vegetables and wheat bran cereals.
Additionally, eat a variety of green vegetables, which generally seem to deter breast cancer.
Confine alcohol intake to a drink a day.
To prevent breast cancer or suppress its growth if you have it, eat omega-3 fatty acids in oily fish and omega-9 fatty acids of the monounsaturated type found in olive oil. Restrict saturated animal fats as well as omega-6 fatty acids predominant in corn, safflower, and sunflower seed oils, and shortenings and margarines made from such oils. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It's not clear from case-control studies of cruciferous vegetables which component leads to this reduced risk of prostate cancer," says Dr. Jennifer Cohen, one of the researchers on this study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. But experts suspect that phytonutrients in cauliflower, called glucosinolates, deserve the credit. These chemicals may sound a call to arms in your body, causing the release of enzymes that take the bite out of cancer-causing substances. Your body then flushes them out before they can harm your DNA.
Turns the tables on tumors. | | And like the other cruciferous vegetables, cauliflower stands up to cancer with the best of them. In over 21 studies, cauliflower's arsenal of nutrients seemed to protect against lung, stomach, and colon cancers.
Cauliflower
"Cauliflower," Mark Twain once said, "is nothing but cabbage with a college education." He's right in manv wavs.
4 ways cauliflower keeps you healthy
Protects your prostate. As simple as it may seem, eating a cruciferous vegetable like cauliflower just three or more times a week could reduce your risk of getting prostate cancer by a whopping 41 percent. |
Simon Mills and Kerry Bone
See book keywords and concepts |  Moderate anticancer activity is found in onions, linseed (flaxseed), citrus, turmeric, cruciferous vegetables (e.g. broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower), solanaceous vegetables (tomatoes and peppers), brown rice and whole wheat.
3. Modest anticancer activity has been demonstrated in oats and barley, cucumber and the kitchen herbs such as the mints, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage and basil. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Tomatoes aren't the only food to protect your prostate. cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts can swing the odds in your favor. Eat three servings of these veggies every week and research shows you could just about cut your risk of prostate cancer in half.
Battles breast cancer. If you're a woman, you really only need one reason to add broccoli to your diet breast cancer. Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley claim a natural element in broccoli, called indole-3-carbinol, can stop the growth of breast cancer cells. Leonard F. |
D. Lindsey Berkson
See book keywords and concepts |  Related dioxin compounds, such as the nontoxic ones from cruciferous vegetables, have been shown in animal experiments to inhibit mammary tumors and can turn carcinogens into nonactive, non-tumor-promoting metabolites. cer cells in the laboratory, bisphenol A has been shown to cause cells to grow. It is still a debate as to whether or not bisphenol A actually has an effect on breast tissue in humans.
Ddt and a number of other pesticides now in use stimulate breast cancer cells to grow in ways similar to estradiol. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Peaches, almonds, peanuts, and cruciferous vegetables like turnips, rutabagas, and cabbage also contain small amounts of goitrogens. As long as these foods are part of a well-rounded diet, you shouldn't experience problems. Remember, moderation is the key. Cooking also helps by breaking down these potentially harmful compounds.
Copper. Your thyroid needs this trace mineral, though experts aren't sure why. Don't worry though, you'll probably get all the copper you need from a normal diet especially if you're a fan of oysters, baked potatoes, lima beans, and mushrooms. |
Barnet Meltzer, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  All of these contain the phytonutrient sulphoraphane, as well as other isocyan-othianates which stimulate the liver to secrete enzymes that detoxify and dispose of carcinogenic metabolites. cruciferous vegetables also have indoles, which can inactivate potentially damaging estrogens, and quercetin, which energizes the liver and spleen.
4. Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is a miracle food brought to us by bees. Specifically, it is secreted from the throat glands of nurse bees between the sixth and twelfth day of their life. A combination of honey and pollen gives the substance a thick, creamy texture. |
Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Especially abundant in green, cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, etc.), phytochemicals have powerful pharmacologic, an-tidisease properties. They not only help prevent disease, but also support the immune system's reaction to disease.
There's much more to nutritional therapy than simple common sense, thot gh. There are specific dietary methods you can use to take firm control of your cognitive function, moods, and memory. |
Neal Barnard, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | The strongest enzyme inducers are found in cruciferous vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale.
Fruits and certain raw vegetables (carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, and green peppers) supply glutathione, which helps carry chemicals out of the body.
A low-fat vegetarian diet may discourage chemicals from entering your body by reducing the amount of cholesterol in your blood. Chemical roxins travel on cholesterol particles.
Avoiding fish and other animal products reduces your exposure to chemicals that concentrate in their tissues. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts | | Anticancer indoles are also concentrated in the other cruciferous vegetables, including cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, mustard greens and turnips. To get the greatest effect, eat the crucifers raw or lightly cooked, Dr. Michnovicz advises. Heavy cooking tends to destroy indoles, curtailing their antiestrogen and anticancer effect.
^Thumbs Up:
WHEAT BRAN MANIPULATOR
Another way to defeat breast cancer by curtailing estrogen levels in your blood is to eat wheat bran cereals. |
Neal Barnard, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | However, some vegetables, particularly cruciferous vegetables, spinach, chard, and potatoes, are better cooked than raw. Cooking eliminates toxins that can be present in some plants. Avoid adding butter, margarine, or oily salad dressings to vegetables. Instead, a sprinkle of lemon juice on broccoli or salad greens makes them much more palatable to reluctant vegetable eaters. Organic vegetables are preferable and are now widely available at health food stores.
2. Legumes. The legume group includes beans, peas, and lentils. | | The very best detoxifiers, again, are cruciferous vegetables, with Brussels sprouts and white cabbage at the top of the list. Even an extract made from beans has shown some effect.2 Beef eaters, take note, however. None of the vegetable juices tested reduced the risk to zero, so steering clear of beef is still the best advice, even while you boost your vegetable intake.
The idea is not to focus only on broccoli or Brussels sprouts, but to take advantage of the full range of enzyme boosters in plants. "Everybody is saying broccoli is terribly good for you, and I'm sure it is," said Dr. |

There's also a plentiful supply of vitamin B6 in whole grains, whole wheat, and cruciferous vegetables.
Deficiencies in vitamin B6 have been linked to asthma, autoimmune disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, heart conditions, kidney stones, PMS, and seizure disorders. The increase in the appearance of these ailments parallels the increase in B6 antagonists present in prescription drugs and processed foods. Alcohol, birth control pills, hydrazine dyes, anti-tuberculosis isoniazid, and anti-hypertensive hydralazine are among the more common B6 antagonists. |
Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The good news is that many of the beneficial substances found in cruciferous vegetables have been extracted from broccoli and are now available in pills or capsules. I'm not suggesting that swallowing a pill is as beneficial as eating a plate of fresh vegetables; vegetables contain fiber and other good things that may not find their way into a supplement. I do believe, however, that broccoli isolates offer many of the advantages of the whole vegetable and are a good alternative for people who do not eat these vegetables anyway.
