... combat cancer with broccoli

-

Intestinal cancer is the third most common type of cancer, but a cocktail of E. coli bacteria and broccoli may stop that. The bacteria are manipulate­d to settle on cancer cells and produce an enzyme that converts glucosinol­ates from broccoli and other vegetables, into a drug that attacks cancer cells. The drug reduced the number of tumours by 75% in mice with intestinal cancer.
