breast cancer. Glucosinolates, specifically indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane,
increase the excretion of the form of estrogen (2-hydroxyestrone) which is linked to
breast cancer. In preliminary studies, Indole-3-carbinol has also been shown to
arrest the growth of both breast and prostate cancer cells. Studies have also shown
that it increases the ability of the liver to detoxify toxic compounds and decreases the
growth of human papillomavirus (a virus linked to cervical cancer).
