Broccoli Chemical Stems Breast Cancer Cells
Sulfur compounds in broccoli stop creation of breast cancer stem cells; Effect should extend to kale, cabbage, and broccoli’s many “cruciferous” cousins
by Craig Weatherby
As a killer of women, breast cancer runs a distant second to cardiovascular disease ... but that’s no comfort.
Some 94,280 Americans will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 40,610 will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society.
New findings suggest that sulforaphane – a compound abundant in broccoli, broccoli sprouts, and other cruciferous veggies – might help prevent or treat breast cancer by blocking the creation of cancer stem cells.
A University of Michigan team reports that sulforaphane killed cancer stem cells and prevented new tumors from growing … both in mice implanted with human breast cancer cells, and in cultured breast cancer cells (Li Y et al. 2010).
|
Key Points
-
Sulforaphane (SFN) from broccoli killed a majority of cancer stem cells in mice, and stopped breast tumor growth.
-
The benefits of SFN were seen both in mice given human breast tumors and in isolated human breast cancer cells.
-
The mice received large amounts of SFN by injection … levels that cannot be achieved by eating broccoli or other cruciferous vegetables.
-
However, the researchers said the levels of SFN needed to impact cancer could be achieved by taking the broccoli extract from which they extracted the SFN.
|
Sulforaphane – or SFN for short – has been tested in various cancers, with mixed results.
Breast cancer has often been selected as a subject because of the link, seen in epidemiological studies, between eating more broccoli and a lower risk of breast cancer.
Broccoli and its cousins versus cancer … the background
Two years ago, we summarized current research into the anti-cancer properties of “cruciferous” veggies, which abound in sulfur-based compounds called glucosinolates (see “Broccoli and Company vs. Cancer and Aging”).
A few months later, scientists at UC Santa Barbara reported intriguing findings about SFN … a key glucosinolate compound.
SFN had already been shown to reduce the incidence and rate of artificially induced mammary tumors in ...

Does Tea Cut Weight or Fat? Does Green Beat Black?
Black tea may match green for modest weight benefits; both beverages’ greater benefit lies in the power to lower fat levels in the blood and liver
by Craig Weatherby
Leaf through a natural health magazine or stroll through a supplement aisle, and you'll get the impression that tea promotes weight loss.
There’s some truth to that idea … though a recent evidence review suggests that tea and tea extracts may only bring modest weight-control benefits.
And those benefits seem to stem from tea’s caffeine, as much or more than from its unique array of polyphenol-type antioxidants, called catechins.
Last year, researchers from the University of Connecticut reported the results of their review of the evidence from credible clinical trials testing tea for weight-loss and shape-altering effects.
|
Key Points
-
Mouse study suggests that, like green tea, black tea may limit fat gain modestly, and limit diet-induced spikes in blood and liver fat levels more substantially.
-
Recent evidence review finds modest body shape benefits from green tea, tied largely to its caffeine.
- Green and black tea contain different antioxidant compounds, but both seem to bring general metabolic benefits.
|
Their analysis indicated that taking supplements containing only green tea’s antioxidant catechins (GTCs for short) doesn’t improve people’s body weight or measurements … at least in the short run.
In contrast, trial participants who consumed GTCs together with caffeine – as in brewed green tea – enjoyed reductions in BMI (body mass index), total body weight, and waist size.
But while the changes were statistically significant, they were minor. As the UCONN team wrote, “… the clinical significance of these reductions is modest at best.” (Phung OJ et al. 2009)
In other words, while a tea-drinking habit may enhance the effects of a generally healthful diet, it cannot overcome over-eating or under-exercising.
That said, a new animal study from Japan suggests that black tea may rival green tea as a small but significant

Halibut Piccata with Artichokes or Asparagus
Today’s recipe comes to us from Kevin Lynch of Toronto, Canada … a FoodBuzz featured publisher whose blog, Closet Cooking, presents a wealth of great recipes.
As Kevin says, “I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! Now I spend my free time searching for and trying tasty new recipes.”
Here's what Kevin says about his halibut piccata recipe:
"After a few heavy meals on the weekend, I was looking for something on the lighter side and when thinking about lighter meals, seafood often comes to mind. I was lucky enough to come across some more baby artichokes ...

Americans Deemed Seafood-Deficient
It’s official … Americans need to eat more seafood, says the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
by Craig Weatherby
Feel good about eating fish ... it’s just what an expert panel promotes to boost Americans’ health.
On June 15, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recommended some smart updates to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines issued in 2005.
Seafood featured prominently in the changes the expert panel urged for the 2010 U.S. Dietary Guidelines.
The committee concluded that Americans – including pregnant and lactating women – eat too little seafood and should be encouraged to eat more for optimal child development and better heart health in adults.
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) was established jointly by the US Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS).
The DGAC consists of 13 independent university-affiliated experts in nutrition and health, and they presented a clear picture:
“On average, Americans of all ages consume too few vegetables, fruits, high-fiber whole grains, low-fat milk and milk products, and seafood and they eat too much added sugars ...

Michael Pollan on Food Reformers’ Feuds
Bestselling author reports on the struggle to reform American food culture, in the course of commenting on five new books
by Craig Weatherby
Bestselling author/journalist Michael Pollan reviews five new books on aspects of U.S. food culture in a recent issue of the New York Review of Books.
But rather than a conventional review, his savvy essay – titled “The Food Movement, Rising” – reveals each author’s core message within a cogent commentary on the competing grass roots movements vying to reform American farming and eating.
Coincidentally, the basic nutritional message of Pollan’s review, the books it addresses, and the documentary Food, Inc. was echoed in the recommendations released this week by the 2010 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.
Pollan’s review summarizes the recent history of mainstream food culture and ...
