In a number of long-term studies, no association was found between cruciferous vegetable intake overall and the risk of prostate cancer development. However, something intriguing was noted in one of these studies: men who consumed 5 or more servings of cruciferous vegetables per week up to 8 years earlier showed a 10% to 20% lower risk of developing prostate cancer. Biologically speaking, this makes sense. Because sulforaphane enables the body's protective proteins to do a better job at clearing out carcinogens, it would clearly be most effective during those periods that carcinogens are most active—when the tumor cells are first starting to grow, well before the disease is clinically detectable..
