Published Oxford Mail November 2014 Sir we all know that smoking tobacco  and  exposure to other pollutants such as diesel, benzene or PCB`s can cause cancer. However there are also foods we can eat that help to counteract the risk. Fortunately, scientific evidence has established that cruciferous vegetables contain vital cancer-fighting components that offer powerful protection against carcinogens.  These compounds  are found in the vegetables broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and kale. Eating these foods daily, steamed, support the body’s natural detoxification process.  Broccoli, cauliflower, and other cruciferous vegetables uniquely contain health-promoting phytonutrients that  help prevent the onset and halt the progression of colon, breast, prostate, thyroid, cervical, and  many other cancers. Cruciferous vegetable compounds act through mechanisms in the body to protect against the growth and spread of existing cancers. Watercress also offers a high level of protection, even against lung cancer. When steaming vegetables never throw away the water as it contains the vitamins. Finally, the pigment chlorophyll, found in all green veg, binds tightly to carcinogens found in burnt or barbecued meat and tobacco smoke.
