In a new study, researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Dundee, Scotland report that hairless mice developed 25 per cent fewer skin tumours following exposure to UV radiation and fed a broccoli extract for 13 weeks, compared with mice receiving a standard protective agent. In addition, the tumors the broccoli-fed mice did develop were 70 per cent smaller.

8/1/2006Latest Science News:
The study published in this paper quantifies the effectiveness of our sprout safety program. The recent increased interest in consuming green vegetable sprouts has been tempered by the fact that fresh sprouts can in some cases be vehicles for food-borne illnesses. They must be grown according to proper conditions of sanitation and handled as a food product rather than as an agricultural commodity. When sprouts are grown in accordance with the criteria proposed from within the sprout industry, developed by regulatory agencies, and adhered to by many sprouters, green sprouts can be produced with very low risk. Contamination may occur when these guidelines are not followed.
