Could
foods prevent ovarian cancer? - MSNBC, 3/14/08 -
"Kaempferol a flavonoid found in tea, broccoli, kale and spinach and
luteolin which is provided by peppers, carrots, cabbage and celery were
both identified as cancer protective. Women who consumed the most of these
two flavonoids were 40 percent and 34 percent less likely, respectively, to
develop ovarian cancer compared to women who consumed the least ... A 2007
study published in the British Journal of Nutrition linked greater
consumption of carotenoid phytochemicals with a 67 percent lower risk of
ovarian cancer. This included not only beta-carotene, the oft-cited
carotenoid in deep-orange vegetables and fruits, but also alpha-carotene,
beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids found in a wide
range of red, orange, yellow and green vegetables" - See

Broccoli May Help Boost Aging Immune System - Science Daily, 3/6/08 -
"As we age, the ability of the immune system to
fight disease and infections and protect against cancer wears down as a
result of the impact of oxygen radicals on the immune system ... our study
shows that a chemical present in broccoli is capable of stimulating a wide
range of antioxidant defense pathways and may be able to interfere with the
age-related decline in immune function ... The UCLA team not only found that
the direct administration of sulforaphane in broccoli reversed the decline
in cellular immune function in old mice, but they witnessed similar results
when they took individual immune cells from old mice, treated those cells
with the chemical outside the body and then placed the treated cells back
into a recipient animal"

compounds boost the body's production of phase II enzymes, which can
detoxify cancer-causing chemicals and reduce cancer risk ... But the natural
broccoli compound,
sulforaphane, can be toxic in
high doses ... It is also difficult and expensive to synthesize ...
oxomate was seven times less
toxic than sulforaphane
... In tests on female rats, those that were fed
oxomate
after exposure to cancer-inducing chemicals had up to a 50 percent reduction
in the number of breast tumors"

Consumption of Raw Cruciferous Vegetables is Inversely Associated with
Bladder Cancer Risk - Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2008
Apr;17(4):938-44 - "We observed a strong and
statistically significant inverse association between bladder cancer risk
and raw cruciferous vegetable intake (adjusted OR for highest versus lowest
category = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.42-0.97), with a significant trend (P = 0.003);
there were no significant associations for fruit, total vegetables, or total
cruciferous vegetables ... These data suggest that cruciferous vegetables,
when consumed raw, may reduce the risk of bladder cancer, an effect
consistent with the role of dietary isothiocyanates as chemopreventive
agents against bladder cancer"
