Brussels sprouts protect against cancer

Scientists have confirmed that Brussels sprouts deserve the title "super substance" because its consumption reduces the risk of cancer.

Scientists from the British "Quadram Institute" pointed out that vitamin C contained in 80 grams of Brussels sprouts (about five pieces) was greater than its proportion in oranges and that this amount contained the daily dose of vitamin K. It also contained a good proportion of dietary fiber.

But the most important components of the body are the "glucosinolates" present in all types of cabbage known. This article gives all types of cabbage a light taste and its proportion in Brussels sprouts is very high.

The results of several studies have shown that this article not only contributes to metabolism, but also protects against cancer. Once glucosinols enter the body, they become compounds called isothiocyanates, which help reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer in humans.

Scientists believe that "isothiocyanates" also guarantee the prevention of lung cancer because they help eliminate toxins from the body.
