"We
have shown previously that ...isothiocyanate 'iso], 'a substance found in
broccoli, cabbage, brussel 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.
They studied the effect of iso in live animals and found a significant
decrease in tumor growth in those treated with it. The iso caused
programmed cell death in the cancer cells, though not in normal cells.
