Raw Broccoli, Cabbage Slash Bladder Cancer by 40%, Cooking Destroys Benefits

Eating as little as three small servings of raw cruciferous vegetables per month, such as broccoli and cabbage, has been found to decrease the risk of developing bladder cancer by an astonishing 40 percent. Researchers from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo had discovered, that only one of several that have recently added to the evidence that raw fruits and vegetables dramatically lower cancer risk.

However, the researchers did not find a protective benefit from eating the same quantity of cooked cruciferous vegetables. This shows that cooking these raw foods will destroy the anti-cancer properties. Smokers and non-smokers who feeds on these raw fruits and vegetables had somehow lower their chances of being at risk of getting bladder cancer by 40 percent, and this founding was only recorded for those who fed on raw foods three times per month. That's a ridiculously small amount of vegetable matter, and yet it had a profound anti-cancer effect.

This founding was presented in a meeting of the American Association of Cancer Research in Philadelphia.
