Broccoli is a rich source of glucosinolates which break down into the substance called sulforophane. Sulphoraphane appears to have a strong anti-cancer effect by stimulating our natural defenses. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers recognized sulphoraphane as a compound found in broccoli sprouts. The researchers also found that it also kills the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, that is thought to be responsible for many cases of stomach cancer and ulcers.
