Studies have shown that sulforaphane – the chemical that glucoraphanin helps produce – can prevent cancer cell growth by releasing antioxidants.
Antioxidants are chemicals used to protect the body from carcinogens, which are linked to DNA damage.
Further studies into low-cholesterol diets have found that avocado is another remarkable food.
In one study, it was found that eating just one avocado per day for six months could significantly reduce LDL cholesterol.
