Eat Your Cauliflower

If your mom insisted you finish all your vegetables, she had it right. Scientists have long known that cruciferous vegetables—cauliflower’s extended family—are mainstays in a cancer-fighting diet, and the latest study adds another piece to the puzzle. When concentrated cauliflower juice was tested on in vitro human breast cancer cells—both estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and ER-negative—it inhibited their growth. Higher juice concentrations even killed some cells. Suddenly cauliflower seems more appealing, doesn’t it?
