The Science of Broccoli...and Other Cruciferous Vegetables is part of a special webinar series A Science Of... that will explore the science behind food. This session features Dr. Trygve Tollefsbol, professor of Biology at UAB.

The consumption of certain foods, notably vegetables, can contribute significantly to lowering the risk of developing cancer. The cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, and kale, are especially effective in preventing many cancers including breast cancer.

The amount of consumption and their combination with other food components as well as WHEN in life they are consumed can influence how effective cruciferous vegetables are in preventing cancer. This webinar will provide the basics about cruciferous vegetables and cancer prevention as well as the most recent advances in this exciting field.
