Re: another reason to eat your broccoli/brussel sprouts!
We need to keep in mind that there are 3 main causes of cancer:
1. Diet/Exercise/Lifestyle
2. Heredity
3. Radiation from all kinds of different sources. The sun, x-rays, radon, etc.
Eating cole crops will help prevent cancers that fall into the first category, but will not do much to stop the ones which fall into the other two categories.
The risk of developing a potentially fatal cancer over a lifetime is 1 out of 3.
In essence, by end of everyone's lifetime, they will die from one of these things, in descending order:
1. Heart and artery disease/stroke
2. Cancer
3. everything else such as falls, car accidents, influenza, infections, Alzheimers, etc.
