Paul Talalay Found Broccoli Could Boost Body’s Defenses Against Cancer
Your mother told you to eat broccoli. Paul Talalay found scientific evidence that she was right.
Dr. Talalay, who died March 10 at age 95, was a medical researcher at Johns Hopkins University for more than 50 years who helped establish the idea that eating certain foods could reduce cancer risks. He was most famous for a 1992 paper finding that a chemical obtained from eating broccoli and some other vegetables, sulforaphane, could help boost the body’s natural defenses against carcinogens.

Broccoli has powerful sulphoraphane that helps turn on cancer protective genes and turn off cancer promoting genes. Good news is that one or more portions of broccoli a week may promote cancer fighting effects. As per the article linked below, one portion is about 2 spears. That's not a lot of broccoli to consume to get beneficial effects.
