Some vegetables can be trusted turned out to be lower risk of lung cancer. Smokers and former smokers who consume a lot of broccoli and other vegetables have a lower likelihood of exposure risk of lung cancer compared with those not.
Researchers at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York reported the results of this study in Washington on 18/11-2008 in association meeting of cancer researchers in the field of prevention (American Association of Cancer Research meeting on cancer prevention).
"The first thing to do is to quit smoking, because that's the best way to reduce the risk of lung cancer," said researcher Li Tang, PhD. Besides quitting smoking, Tang recommends smokers and former smokers to consume vegetables that are important for the body, such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, radish, especially in the raw form.
Tang warned that there is no magic bullet that can guarantee the prevention of lung cancer. However, there is no downside to consume vegetables sayuran.Tim Tang asked 948 patients with lung cancer and 1743 without lung cancer about their smoking history, consumption of fruits and vegetables. Among smokers, especially among former smokers, the consumption of vegetables in a large number of closely linked with lower cancer risk. That does not mean that those vegetables prevented lung cancer. Studies conducted Tang observational, not directly try the benefits of these vegetables in cancer prevention.
However, other studies have shown that components of isothiocyanates in vegetables contain substances that can fight cancer, says Tang. The most important vegetables commonly consumed in the study of Tang are broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. Eating raw vegetables is in a state better, because the heating destructive enzymes in the vegetables that serves activate isothiocyanates, Tang said.
In February, laboratory tests conducted by other researchers indicate that the isothiocyanates in broccoli may help prevent bladder cancer in rats. In July, another study showed that men who ate broccoli several times a week have a lower risk of prostate cancer than men who do not eat broccoli.
