In this study, researchers from China Medical University in Taiwan investigated the anticancer activity of sulforaphane (SFN), a plant compound present in cruciferous vegetables. The results of their study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that SFN is a novel anticancer agent that can be used to treat human colon cancer in the future.
