Eating cruciferous vegetables, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower can help protect women against breast cancer. UCSB professors, Wilson, Jordan and Azarenko have shown “how the healing powers of these vegetables work at the cellular level”. www.ucsb.edu.
Their paper was published in the December Journal of Carcinogenesis. www.carcinogenesis.com.
So much has already been written about the virtues of cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower that it seems at first like old news. What makes their research exciting is that it looks at the cellular level having similar positive results as the drugs Taxol and Vincristine.

Thanks for the info. Being a health coach and a healthy eater, I am always looking for fun, natural recepies. Cabbage is a great vegetable, especially the red variety. I blend it along with celery, kale, chard collards and make the best smoothies. Cabbage lowers the high acidic levels on the blood and brings pH to healthy levels (about 7.0 when consumed daily). Keeping normal pH levels helps the body perform better and prevents oxidative stress.
