University of Illinois researcher Elizabeth Jeffery has learned how to maximize the cancer-fighting power of broccoli.

The discovery of this sulfur-grabbing protein in the Jeffery lab makes it possible to maximize the amount of the anticarcinogen sulforaphane in broccoli. Jeffery's research will be published in an upcoming issue of Phytochemistry. She is a professor in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the U of I. "As scientists, we learned that sulforaphane is maximized when broccoli ha | | 07/15 | Fish Oil Supplements tested better for you Health than Fish
