Vegetables Brassica

Arable farmers in the UK rarely grow more than one crop in a year, but horticulturalists may grow two or more crops in a year on the same soil, so the question of crop sequences is more intense for them, particularly as Brassica vegetables, such as cabbages and brussel sprouts, can leave large organic as well as mineral nitrogen residues. 

There is ample evidence from both animal experiments and tissue cultures studies to show that brassica vegetables and their constituents selectively induce Phase II enzymes. Evidence for the induction of Phase II enzymes by...

Direct proof regarding whether antimutagenic or anticarcinogenic effects also occur in humans under normal dietary conditions can only be obtained from studies with humans. Indeed, epidemiological studies indicate that consumption of fruits and vegetables is inversely associated with the risk of cancer. In particular, brassica vegetables such as cabbage, brussels sprouts, and broccoli have been attributed with beneficial health effects in humans.
