Phytoestrogens are more from soybeans than cruciferous vegs. So, do like I do and keep some handy tasty soybeans in your purse in case you get hungry when you're at the beauty parlor.

"I use the Samson GB-9001 juicer..."
By extracting the juice from the fruit and vegetables - leaving behind the fiber - you're left with sugary wishwash that is shown to spike your insulin levels, cause diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and increase risk of obesity. Your killing yourself slowly but surely. The GB-9001 is an instrument of destruction, utter complete total destruction. Might as well just put your head in the thing and press the "pulse" button 100 times. Now, the BG-9002 is another story - it's quite safe, actually.

hey FReeper FRiend, I use the Samson GB-9001 juicer I'm not entirely sure why your post was directed to me, but thank you for sharing.
I have heard that Jack LaLanne is a proponent of juicing & he seems to be quite healthy for someone over 90. So there may be something to it.

It's nice to know that flatulence doesn't cause cancer.

I think many a conservative is going to drop dead from the notion that being health is the provision of a liberal. Stereotypes and assumptions are a powerful thing indeed. Juicing those things are the best way to get these nutrients because most people can't take eating them raw.

"Mmmmm, broccoli "
Great with mayo, or lemon butter.
Here in Slovakia, it is a major vegetable.
Almost every day I go to a small pastry shop that has a croissant that is stuffed with Broccoli.
Cabbage is a staple here. At The Slovak Pub I have cabbage
soup in a bread bowl..yummie.

I loathe brussels sprouts. But my sister prepares them as you described, and they're very tasty.

"I do and keep some handy tasty soybeans in your purse "
When I was last in Tennessee, I had a farm.
My tenant farmer planted many soybeans.
I enjoyed eating them from the plant, as I made my daily hike around the farm. They are good, green or matured.

You can also add collards and Brussels sprouts to the list.Oh no you can't. Not on my table. The other three are just fine, best if they're raw.

Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower: The Vegetables That May Prevent Cancer
The cruciform vegetables. Nice to hear repeated what I heard at least 13 years ago.

Broccoli slaw is a good option. The veggies you listed are also good for those trying to increase potassium intake and decrease sodium.

Yuck, I hate all three.
An alternative that is probably much more powerful in preventing cancer is raspberries which contain ellagic acid which is a powerful anti-oxidant that can induce apoptosis in cancer cells. (programmed cellular death) Much of the research was originally done at the Medical University of South Carolina and has been confirmed by many researchers. If you don't like raspberries, you can get the ellagic acid extract in pill form.

Agreed; most people have had these vegetables cooked to death, which is why they don't like them. Another good method for Brussels Sprouts is the way the Barefoot Contessa prepares them: toss whole sprouts in a little olive oil, add sea salt and pepper, and roast them in a baking pan at 400 degrees for half an hour, tossing them once during the roasting time. The insides are perfectly cooked, and the outside is crisp and sweet.

I guess I'm lucky. I love vegetables. Especially brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli and spaghetti squash. The trick is to cook them with the right spices and for the right amount of time. My niece can make spaghetti squash taste like a gourmet treat. It's all in the cooking. AND buy organic vegetables (and fruit) if you can. The difference in the taste is startling.
