According to research conducted by the University of Arizona Cancer Center and the Department of Nutritional Sciences the University of Arizona, cruciferous can inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells.

Tucson, AZ (Merxwire) - Breast cancer is common cancer in women. According to statistics, in 2020, 2.3 million women worldwide have been diagnosed with breast cancer. A study published in Nutrition Reviews in the United States pointed out that cruciferous is rich in phytochemicals, and certain organic sulfide transformed by phytochemicals can protect cells and inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells.

The researchers used rats as the experimental model. During the study, a powerful carcinogen was used to induce mutations in mammary cancer cells in rats, and DIM was fed every other day. Finally, the researchers observed that the mammary cancer cells in the rats had apoptosis after taking DIM.
