Go Green and Fight Breast Cancer!
This Week's Breast Cancer Awareness Tip
Remember how your mom always urged you to eat your broccoli? She was on to something, according to cancer experts: Researchers have found a compound called sulforaphane in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, brussels sprouts, and kale. Not only does sulforaphane help prevent cancer cells from forming, it can also stop existing cancerous cells right in their tracks!

Someday the development may lead to new and more effective cancer-fighting treatments. For now, go ahead and load up on these healthy greens! In addition to its anticancer properties, a one-cup serving of raw broccoli provides 98 percent of your daily vitamin C, 73 percent of your daily vitamin A, and 2.3 grams of fiber, and it has just 30 calories! How's that for a powerful nutritional punch? Yay, broccoli!
