\"cabbage\"
Shielding yourself against bladder cancer is not a big task if you can manage to have at least three servings of raw broccoli or cabbage in a month, claims a series of studies conducted under different circumstances. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The latest findings come as an addition to the previous studies associating dark-colored berries with cancer fighting properties. Under the first study, experts surveyed two groups of people:-<\/p>\n

•<\/strong> Group (275 people) with bladder cancer<\/p>\n

•<\/strong> Group (875 people) without bladder cancer<\/p>\n

These people were particularly enquired about their consumption of cruciferous vegetables<\/strong><\/a> like broccoli and cabbage, known for having high concentration of compounds called isothiocyanates<\/strong><\/a> – known to lower cancer risk. Finally, experts concluded that, apart from smokers, non-smokers having at least three servings of raw cruciferous vegetables in a month were 73 % less susceptible to bladder cancer.<\/p>

\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

However, cooked cruciferous vegetables didn’t show similar results, which proves that cooking destroys anti-cancer properties, if not completely so partially, at least. In the words of Dr. Li Tang, team leader of the study:<\/p>\n

Cooking can reduce 60 to 90 percent of ITCs, (isothiocyanates)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bringing similar results, another study showed that progression of bladder cancer halted significantly when rats engineered to develop bladder cancer were fed on broccoli sprouts.<\/p>\n

Both these studies provide enough evidences to show that going vegetarian may significantly truncate the threat of cancer. So, going vegetarian is a wonderful idea, indeed.<\/p>\n
