The anti-cancer properties of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower, are not new and previous studies have related these benefits to the high levels of active plant chemicals called glucosinolates. These are metabolised by the body into isothiocynates, and evidence suggests these are powerful anti-carcinogens. The main isothiocynate from broccoli, for example, is sulforaphane.

They administered daily doses of a freeze-dried aqueous extract of broccoli sprouts to rats who had lab-induced bladder cancer. The broccoli extract decreased the incidence, multiplicity, size, and progression of the chemically induced bladder cancer; the extract caused no histological changes in the bladder.
