A substance extracted from broccoli can help prevent the occurrence of breast cancer by working on breast cancer stem cells that provide tumor growth, US researchers at the University of Michigan believe, according to an online edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Scientists conducted an experiment on laboratory mice, examining the effects that broccoli exerts on cancer stem cells. Having determined the number of cancer stem cells in individual cancers, experts first experimented by injecting a different amount of sulforaphane (a substance extracted from broccoli) into a tumor of mice.

It turned out that after injections, there was a significant decrease in the number of cancer stem cells in tumors in rodents without any effect on normal cells. Thus, new tumors did not arise.

Further, scientists tested in the laboratory the effect of the compound on cancer cells taken from women. The result was similar. According to scientists, it became possible to fight cancer in natural, natural ways.
