Cancer curbing cruciferous vegetables

What we eat is a major determinant of cancer development. It has been estimated that 30-35% of cancer cases are due to dietary factors, a figure that may be higher for specific cancers such as bowel cancer where diet has been linked to 70% of cases (1). Fruits and vegetables contain literally thousands of chemicals that have potential to reduce cancer risk and some vegetables have unusually high concentrations of anti-cancer compounds.
