"We have shown previously that ...isothiocyanate 'iso], 'a substance found in broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts & cauliflower,] significantly inhibits survival of ...human prostate cancer cells 'in test tubes] whereas proliferation of a normal prostate...cell line is minimally affected by 'iso] even at concentrations that are highly 'toxic] to prostate cancer cells.
