Unit: 1 Broccoli about 1 kg.
The broccoli contains a chemical that kills the bacteria responsible for ulcers and many of the most stomach cancers, according to a joint study by American and French scientists.
This study shows that this vegetable can be an effective replacement for antibiotics that kill the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, but also to help digest food.
Already knew that broccoli contains high amounts of sulforaphane, a chemical highly effective against all types of cancers, but it was not his ability to fight bacteria above, which has become very resistant to antibiotics.
Clinical trials on mice have been a resounding success, say the researchers, whose next step is to evaluate the actual effects in humans and to develop varieties of broccoli with higher levels of sulforaphane.
