KOMPAS.com - When boiled broccoli with hot water, the broccoli will lose at least 34-22 percent of its vitamin C. This is the result of research published in the Journal of Food Science.
During boiling or steam, the nutrients in broccoli could melt along the liquid used, which ultimately wasted. Cook using a microwave is a great way to warm up this vegetable. With microwave, the broccoli will get warm using water contained in it. Broccoli using microwave heating is expected to save more than 90 percent of the nutrients in it.

Germs are the main causes of injuries and cases of gastric cancer.
In addition, broccoli is a good anti-acetylcholinesterase for people with Alzheimer's. Research at King's College, London, England, stated, broccoli has the most powerful properties than any other vegetable.
Because contains many vitamins and minerals, broccoli nicknamed The Crown Jewel of Nutrition. Broccoli contains vitamin A, potassium, folacin, iron and fiber. Every 25 grams of broccoli contain calcium equivalent to milk. In the U.S. alone, over 25 years since his arrival, broccoli consumption increased by 940 percent! Once the popularity of broccoli in the U.S., so when Dana Varvey on Saturday Night Live singing the song that is a sentence Choppin 'Broccoli for Sigourney Weaver, the song became popular.

Broccoli, Food Important For Diabetes
Predicate broccoli as a superfood like no doubt. So much research that shows how these natural foods rich in substances that are beneficial to health.
A recent study in England indicates broccoli has an important substance that is able to repair and restore the function of blood vessels damaged by diabetes. Researchers from the University of Warwick believes, is a substance called sulforaphane, has a major role in restoring the blood vessels.
As published in the journal Diabetes, mempu sulforaphane stimulates the production of enzymes that can protect blood vessels and lowering the molecules that cause cell damage significantly. Type of brassica vegetables like broccoli is associated previously with a lower risk of heart attack and stroke.
People with diabetes have a greater risk of carrying up to five times more cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes; who both also associated with damage to blood vessel cells.
In his research, a team from Warwick University, tested the effect of sulforaphane in the blood vessel cells damaged by high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), which is closely related to diabetes.
They noted a 73 percent reduction of molecules in the body called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Hyperglycaemia can cause levels of ROS to increase three-fold and high levels of these molecules can damage body cells. Researchers also found that sulforaphane activated a protein in the body called nrf2, which protects cells and tissues from damage by activating protective antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes.
"Our research indicates that substances like sulforaphane in broccoli may help block the process associated with the development of vascular disease in diabetes. Going forward, it is important to perform research to test if eating a diet rich in brassica vegetables provide benefits for diabetic patients. We hope it will happen, "said lead researcher Professor Paul Thornalley.

Broccoli Prevent Prostate Cancer
KOMPAS.com - Broccoli, which is often used for stir-frying the cabbage family that is closely related to cauliflower. It turned out that the study of the journal Oncology, said that broccoli contains the phytonutrients sulforaphane and indoles which have anticancer effects.
Research on indole-3-carbinol proved, this component helps to reduce the active metabolite of the potent estrogen in increasing the risk of tumor growth. Especially in cancer cells that are sensitive to estrogen and simultaneously raise the levels of 2-hidroksiestrone, a form of estrogen that are protective against the presence of cancer.
According to research, Indole-3-carbinol is not only suppress the growth of breast cancer cells, but also suppress the spread of cancer cells to other organs.
The experts also found that sulforaphane increases the enzymes that detoxify the body by cleaning up carcinogenic substances more quickly than the body. Researchers at Johns Hopkins examined the effects of sulforaphane on some kinds of tumors. They were able to prove that the reduced tumor weight and the slower growing and even shrink.
Not only that, sulforaphane also has the ability to reduce cell growth and cell death in leukemia and melanoma cells. Even the research studies published in the journal Carcinogenesis of Rutgers University states that sulforaphane gives special protection to individuals who have a gene susceptible to colon cancer.
Another study published in Cancer, a journal of the American Cancer Society stated that the indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which is a component of Brassica such as broccoli and cabbage have been identified as a component of anti-cancer agent against certain reproductive tumor cells.
A study investigating the effect of I3C on the cell cycle and proliferation in human prostate cancer cells showed that the growth of prostate cancer cells is inhibited. The researchers claim that this can be recorded as a result of studies showing that "I3C has the potential antiproliferative effect" on prostate cancer cells, which qualifies as a "potential chemotherapeutic agent" against prostate cancer so? Still hesitant to eat broccoli?

Here's How To Beat Cancer Broccoli
LONDON, KOMPAS.com - The nickname of broccoli as a superfood is not new. Numerous studies have shown that vegetables this one does have a kind of a natural ingredient that can fight cancer cells.
Based on the latest news, experts in Britain have managed to identify and explain the content of the anticancer mechanism of these substances interact with the genes responsible for cancer development.
As published in the journal Molecular Cancer BioMed Central's latest issue, the experts describe how the anticancer substance called sulforaphane works. Simply put, sulforaphane neutralize similar gene called PTEN. The gene is involved in the formation of prostate cancer cells.
Under normal conditions, PTEN would inhibit cancer development. However, in certain cells, this gene actually disappears and is then going to trigger the growth of cancer.
The presence of sulforaphane seems able to reduce the influence of cells that PTEN loss and can prevent the cancer to grow and develop.
This conclusion is obtained after scientists at the Institute of Food Research Norwich Research Park to do a series of studies. The experts using prostate tissue from the male and the cancer cells from rats. This finding may be new hope for the creation of a therapy for prostate cancer that strikes about 36,000 men each year.

Broccoli Powerful Prevent Breast Cancer
KOMPAS.com - Broccoli has indeed been often cited as one of the vegetables that are capable of preventing and overcoming breast cancer. This has been proven through various studies about the benefits of broccoli are done by scientists.
Chemical compounds found in vegetables are targeting the cells that become food for tumor growth. High content of sulforaphane in broccoli are able to kill cancer stem cells, and prevent the development or spread of disease.
Researchers from the University of Michigan has successfully completed the laboratory tests on mice and cell cultures. Study author, Professor Duxin Sun, said, "We have already studied how often the effect of sulforaphane on cancer, but this study shows that the benefit is in inhibiting stem cells of breast cancer."
Every year, in the UK found about 46,000 cases of breast cancer, with 12,000 deaths. Recent chemotherapy treatments do not work against cancer stem cells, which causes the disease can recur and spread to other areas. Getting rid of the cancer stem cells believed to be very important to control tumor progression.
Because of these laboratory experiments are not tested on breast cancer patients, the researchers suggest that we not only add sulforaphane supplements in our diet. It is intended as an anticipation to prevent or treat cancer.
Currently they are developing their own methods to extract and protect those chemicals, and will continue the clinical trial to test the process.

Lovers of Fruits and Vegetables Not Immune from Increase Weight Loss
KOMPAS.com - Eating foods high in fiber such as fruits and vegetables is very important to maintain ideal body weight remained. But that does not mean that people who only eat fruit and vegetables free from the threat of weight gain.
A recent study found that, just eat lots of fruits and vegetables alone is not sufficient to maintain body weight with age a person - except for people who just quit smoking.
Researchers enrolled nearly 374 000 adults in 10 European countries - were observed for 5 years - and found those who ate fruits and vegetables is still possible to gain weight.
Even so, the researchers warn that these findings can not be a reason for someone not to eat fruit and vegetables. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Anne-Claire Vergnaud of Imperial College London, UK, confirms that eating plant foods full of nutrients may help ward off chronic diseases like heart disease and some cancers.
For this study, Vergnaud and colleagues studied the dietary patterns and body weight of adult participants aged between 25-70 years. Having observed over the past five years, participants experienced weight gain average of one pound per year.
Men who eat lots of fruits and vegetables tend to continue to experience weight gain. However, it should be noted that this research does not take into account other factors that may contribute to weight gain, such as male daily calorie intake, exercise habits and education level.
While in the women with excess weight, those who claim to eat lots of vegetables tend to gain weight gain after five years.
The results are shown in different precisely the group of participants had quit smoking and eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Researchers noted, this group tended to experience weight loss. "No obvious reason for this," said the researcher.
But they speculate that healthy eating habits can prevent the risk of weight gain. To lower blood pressure and cholesterol, researchers suggest to meet at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
