- Cruciferous vegetables contain vitamins, minerals, other nutrients, and chemicals known as glucosinolates.
- Glucosinolates break down into several biologically active compounds that are being studied for possible anticancer effects.
- Some of these compounds have shown anticancer effects in cells and animals, but the results of studies with humans have been less clear.
