Cancer Prevention

Human studies confirm cruciferous sprout activity against H. pylori, which is strongly associated with stomach cancer. Sulforaphane reduces the body's overall carcinogen burden by enabling the liver to convert and excrete fat-soluble carcinogens. Coffee has documented anti-carcinogenic activity against multiple cancer types. Coffee has a protective association against skin cancer (melanoma) and liver cancer. Coffee is associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. Certain cruciferous products are highly effective at decreasing the incidence of tumor cells in breast tissue specifically. Animal studies show strong effectiveness of cruciferous sprouts in preventing and reducing cancer. Coffee's cancer-prevention mechanisms likely involve NRF2-ARE, anti-inflammatory compounds, and modulation of tumor-promoting pathways, but are not fully isolated.
