Sulforaphane, more reasons to eat broccoli sprouts

According to some studies Sulforaphane appears to be most protective against colon and prostate cancer but has also been studied for its effects on many other cancers, such as breast, leukemia, pancreatic and melanoma. The compound, sulforaphane, was particularly abundant in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, kale and Brussels sprouts. Sulforaphane is naturally occurring in broccoli sprouts, which has the highest amount of sulforaphane.

The U.S. is the most recent country added to the list; last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed mosquito-borne transmission of the virus in Wynwood - a neighborhood of Miami, FL. Many people infected with the virus experience no symptoms at all, but for pregnant women and their babies, however, Zika can have very serious consequences.
