Broccoli: its anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and healing values
Elizabeth H Jeffery, Professor Emerita University of Illinois, Urbana, IL, USA
Anand et al, Pharm. Res. 25: 2097, 2008
30 30-35% of cancers may be related to diet
Brassica vegetables decrease our relative risk for cancers more effectively than do vegetables in general
Risk Decrease (%)
All vegetables 25% (p=0.43) Colon
Brassica 49% (p=0.004) (low: high intake)
All vegetables 19% (p=0.15) Prostate
Brassica 46% (p=0.01) (<1:>3 servings/wk)
Voorrips et al, 2000; Cohen et al, 2000
Brassica veggies prevent cancer more
effectively in people at high risk:
Brassica/ non-smokers 0.70 (ns) Lung
Brassica /smokers 0.31 (p<0.05) (Zhao et al, 2001)
Cardiovascular disease Prevention with Broccoli Risk is lower for myocardial infarct (MI) in those eating ~5 servings of broccoli a week
Low Intake Mid Intake High Intake Servings/ day 0.08 0.43 0.86 Risk for MI (OR) 1.00 0.88 0.63
P=0.001
Cornelis et al, 2007
Cardiovascular disease prevention with dietary broccoli
Low Intake Mid Intake High Intake Servings/ day 0.08 0.43 0.86 Non-smokers Risk for MI 1.00 0.95 0.76 P=0.007 Smokers Risk for MI 100 0.79 0.48 P=0.001

There are some differences between humans and mice – but many similarities, especially at physiological levels
Control diet High fat and sugar diet High fat and sugar + broccoli
Dietary broccoli inhibits accumulation of fat in the livers of mice fed a Western-style high fat and high sugar diet. (values are score of fatty liver disease)

Glucosinolate content varies with genotype and environment – weather and agricultural practices such as nitrogen and sulfur levels and the spraying crops with elicitors, like Methyl Jasmonate
The concentration of bioactives varies across broccoli cultivars; n = 51 varieties of broccoli
Component Mean value Range
Glucoraphanin 7.1a 0.8–21.7
Aliphatic glucosinolates
10.5a 3.0–31.4*
Indolyl glucosinolates
1.9a 0.4–6.2
a: μmol/g dry wt. *: sulforaphane is the major aliphatic glucosinolate product

• In the USA, Demand tripled
between 1980 and today
• Frozen broccoli accounts for
over 60% of that : reduction in cost, increased shelf life, less waste
• Blanched before freezing, kills myrosinase (Dosz and
Jeffery, 2014)

Water cress Arugula Kohlrabi Rutabaga Wasabi Drumsticks Chinese
cabbage
All Vegetables in the plant order Capparales (including
brassicaceae family) provide myrosinase
SUMMARY Broccoli offers protection far greater than just antioxidant activity Dietary amounts of broccoli positively impact health (3-5 servings/ week) Too much cooking can destroy the benefit, so eat a raw brassica with the meal
